"[A] novel that combines exotic descriptions, slam-bang action and a mind-blowing secret history of the universe" - David Langford "Amazing story written with skill and literary excellence" - Goodreads Reviewer 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. 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. As a psychic, Dorthy Yoshida is tasked with confronting the invisible enemy, unaware of her destined role in humanity's final battle. What does humanity hope to achieve? And why did the star begin its journey to Earth over half a million years ago? Ambitious ideas-driven space-opera from the stylistic master of British SF
