**With refreshing determination and hopeful grit, humanity activates a
bold endgame against an alien invasion in the finale of a series
heralded as "a modern classic" (Stephen Baxter) from "one of the finest
writers the genre has produced" (Gareth L. Powell).
**
Humanity is struggling to hold out against a hostile takeover by an
alien race that claims to be on a religious mission to bring all
sentient life to its God at the End of Time. But while billions of
cocooned humans fill the holds of the Olyix's deadly arkships, humankind
is playing an even longer game than the aliens may have anticipated.
From an ultra-secret spy mission to one of the grandest battles ever
seen, no strategy is off the table. Will a plan millennia in the making
finally be enough to defeat this seemingly unstoppable enemy? And what
secrets are the Olyix truly hiding in their most zealously protected
stronghold?
With his trademark optimism about humanity's tenacity and capacity for
greatness, Peter F. Hamilton wraps up this brilliant saga with a
bang--and reminds us why freedom of choice is the most important freedom
there is.
