NEW SPACE OPERA FROM MULTIPLE NEBULA- AND HUGO-WINNING AUTHOR NANCY
KRESS
WHAT LIES BEYOND THE ELEVENTH GATE . . .
Despite economic and territorial tensions, no one wants the city-states
of the Eight Worlds to repeat the Terran Collapse by going to war. But
when war accidentally happens, everyone seeks ways to exploit it for
gain. The Landry and Peregoy ruling dynasties see opportunities to grab
territory, increase profits, and settle old scores. Exploited
underclasses use war to fuel rebellion. Ambitious heirs can finally
topple their elders' regimes--or try to.
But the unexpected key to either victory or peace lies with two persons
uninterested in conquest, profits, or power. Philip Anderson seeks only
the transcendent meaning of the physics underlying the universe. Tara
Landry, spoiled and defiant youngest granddaughter of dynasty head
Rachel Landry, accidentally discovers an eleventh stargate, with a
fabulous find on the planet behind it. Her discovery, and Philip's use
of it, alter everything for the Eight Worlds.
