In this spectacular sequel to the acclaimed Code of the Lifemaker,
James Hogan returns to the strange world of Titan, inhabited by bizarre
self-conscious robots.
Little is known about the civilization that gave birth to these machine
intelligences until scientists discover blocks of embedded computer code
that appear to be strangely out of place. Reactivating the computer
codes results in the re-awakening of ancient alien beings, creators of
the strange robot culture, totally alien and immensely powerful. And
they are unhappy at being restrained within the narrow confines of the
machines they find themselves in. They would much rather be the masters
of all.
But while the scientists are helpless against these mighty beings, Karl
Zambendord, the media-star "psychic" and his support team prepare to
meet the challenge.
The alien intelligences might be intellectually superior and super
rational, but this also makes them hyper-materialistic and mechanistic
in their outlook and hence, totally unprepared for such "higher"
concepts as the spiritual, the mystical, and the transcendental. And
selling such notions is precisely Zambendorf's stock in trade....
