A hugely compelling, dark, offbeat adventure from the bestselling author of ROTHERWEIRD, a master storyteller at the height of his powers.
The world has become a dangerous place. Despite the environmentalists' best efforts, the atmosphere has turned toxic, destroying almost all life - plants, animals, and most of humanity too.
Survivors live in domes protected by chitin shields, serving one or other of the two great companies, Lord Vane's Tempestas or Lord Sine's Genrich, with their very different visions for mankind's future.
Fogg has been the curator of the isolated Museum Dome for three years. It contains Man's finest artefacts, but Fogg hasn't had a single visitor. He immerses himself in the exhibits with only AI PT, his automated physical trainer, for company.
Then a single mysterious pill appears in the Museum as if from nowhere: a momenticon. It signals the end of his hermit's life and an impending struggle with the dark forces which threaten everything that remains: a struggle which will take him and his new companions to the ends of the earth.
This is a post-apocalyptic world unlike any other.
