A larger-than-life tale of men and women in crisis... Readers who enjoyed the cyberpunk feel of Neal Stephenson's SNOW CRASH and the cosmic fiction of James Blish's CITIES IN FLIGHT should welcome the author's full-length SF debut. --Library Journal
In the not-too-distant future, humanity has colonized the solar system. People present themselves virtually, sometimes several layers deep, and it's often hard to tell who is real.
Battles raging in trans-Neptunian space and on Earth are broadcast for the entertainment of millions. The audience is unaware if the characters are intheflesh or virtual.
An orbiting EarthCo-owned supercomputer called the Brain becomes sentient while the tycoon who created it spins plans to take over the solar system.
A lone scientist explores an alien artifact on Neptune's moon Triton, aware that squabbles between rival corporations not only interfere with the broadcast battle, but threaten to destroy him, the artifact, and potentially all of humankind.
This is how life as we know it ends... and something new begins.
"A wild ride through a hypertech world. Riveting." - Jack McDevitt, Nebula Award-winning author of ECHO.
"Beautiful, moving, and ambitious." - Ann Tonsor Zeddies, Philip K. Dick Award nominee and author of the TYPHON series.
