Dies hat philosophische und politische Auswirkungen.

Late in the 26th century, the human race has advanced enough to accidentally trigger the Inhibitors---alien-killing machines designed to detect intelligent life and destroy it.

But other factions want the weapons for their own purposes---and the weapons themselves have another agenda altogether.

The once-utopian Chasm City - a domed human settlement on an otherwise inhospitable planet---has been overrun by a virus known as the Melding Plague, capable of infecting any body, organic or computerized.

The stakes are raised when Tanner Mirabel's search brings him face to face with a centuries-old atrocity that history would rather forget.
