From the author of the Revelation Space series comes an interstellar
adventure of war, identity, betrayal, and the preservation of
civilization itself.
A vast conflict, one that has encompassed hundreds of worlds and solar
systems, appears to be finally at an end. A conscripted soldier is
beginning to consider her life after the war and the family she has left
behind. But for Scur?and for humanity?peace is not to be.
On the brink of the ceasefire, Scur is captured by a renegade war
criminal, and left for dead in the ruins of a bunker. She revives aboard
a prisoner transport vessel. Something has gone terribly wrong with the
ship.
Passengers?combatants from both sides of the war?are waking up from
hibernation far too soon. Their memories, embedded in bullets, are the
only links to a world which is no longer recognizable. And Scur will be
reacquainted with her old enemy, but with much higher stakes than just
her own life.
