In the far future, humanity has colonised the outermost reaches of the galaxy. Society has evolved into a heirachy of castes - from the god-like High to the barely sentient Low. Empires have risen and fallen, and the Dato Bloc has just seceded from the Commonwealth of Empires...
Morgan Roche is a commander in the intelligence arm of the Commonwealth of Empires. Her mission is to escort the artificial intelligence unit known simply as "The Box" to her superiors. But en route, her ship is attacked by Dato Bloc warships, forcing Roche to escape to the surface of the prison planet Sciacca's World with the help of Adoni Cane - a genetically enhanced warrior whose past is a mystery even to him.
Marooned and hunted, Roche must protect "The Box" at all costs. But what about Cane? Who created him and why? The answers may be the salvation of the human race - or it's damnation...

Review by: tucker (Karl)
Dated: 1st of August, 2003
Stunning, simply stunning. With a plot that spans thousands of years and millions of light-years, involving a cast of millions, this story really shows that within the imagination of great authors, there are no limits.
The first of the EVERGENCE trilogy, The Prodigal Sun opens up the story of Morgan Roche, an enigmatic woman with a shadowed past full of twists and turns that reveal nothing of her life before she join the Commonwealth of Empires. She has a vague beginning, a powerful present, but very little else of her life in between.
During her adventures she has two constant companions, The Box, and artificial intelligence created by a member of the High Human caste known only as The Crescend, with the power to be much, much more than it currently is, and Adoni Cane, an anonymous and potentially dangerous individual with all the skills and reflexes of a highly trained warrior, but no apparent memory of anything prior to his being discovered in a highly advanced lifepod floating in deep space mere days earlier.
