Reynolds (The Prefect) returns to the universe of his 2005 novella
Thousandth Night in this sprawling novel of intergalactic intrigue.
It is 6.4 million years in the future and humanity has spread
throughout the Milky Way. Some cultures have established transient
empires across space; others, the Lines, have used relativistic
travel to colonize deep time.
Campion and Purslane are not only late for their thirty-second
reunion, but they have brought along an amnesiac golden robot for
a guest. But the wayward shatterlings get more than the scolding
they expect: they face the discovery that someone has a very
serious grudge against the Gentian line, and there is a very real
possibility of traitors in their midst. The surviving shatterlings
have to dodge exotic weapons while they regroup to try to solve
the mystery of who is persecuting them, and why - before their
ancient line is wiped out of existence, for ever.
