The days on Huntress are darkening. The Tivinel's star dimmer has stopped the planet's fossil-fuelled warming by diverting much of the sun's energy away, but crops are now failing in the faint light. For the Gomeral slaves, food is increasingly scarce and whispers of rebellion grow.
At the forefront, Pedro finds himself guiding his people towards the future he came from, knowing all the while that one false step will destroy everything he has sworn to protect.
But all may be in vain, for in that future darkness also falls on the far-flung descendants of those Gomeral. Bashed and imprisoned on Hazler, David Collins faces execution because of his genes, while Joel and Loraine must unravel a genetic mystery of their own as a new omniscient Pasha comes into his powers.
On the precipice of war, friends become foes and unlikely allegiances form as the last vestige of peace slips towards oblivion. Yet a glimmer still remains of sunshine, warm seas and love; of a simple life, lost long ago but perhaps even now still redeemable.
Set immediately after Plight of the Tivinel, this story concludes the adventure begun with Barefoot Times, Call of the Delphinidae, The Mind of the Dolphins and Cry of the Bunyips.
This book may change the history of humanity as those who read it will be able to retain their memories of this life and the afterworld when they begin their next life.
