Synopsis
Dethroned cult leader Lot Apollinario and his companions have
left the sky-city of Silk with a mission. They aim to find
the Chenzeme--the mysterious race that annihilated most
sentient life in the galaxy many thousands of millennia
ago--whose automated weapons still destroy all they meet. Yet
life beyond the known fringes of "civilized" space
is a strange and wild thing, and the heroes are unprepared
for the wonders--and horrors--that wait in the vastness.
