Dimensions
111 x 179 x 28mm
In the aftermath of an interstellar war an enigmatic star is discovered, travelling towards the Solar System from the galactic core. Its appearance adds a new and dangerous factor in the turbulent politics of the inhabited worlds as the rival factions - the power-holders of the ReUnited Nations, the rebels who secretly oppose their power, and the Religious Witnesses - all see advantages to be gained.
But what awesome technology started the star on its journey half a million years ago - and why?
From the endless carnival on Titan to an earth ruled by the fanatic Witnesses; from the depths of space and the galactic core to the border between reality and the manifold infinity between universes, 'Eternal Light' is huge in scope, breathtaking in ideas and packed with life, character, atmosphere and incident.
