It was the fate of Horza, the Changer, and his motley crew of unpredictable mercenaries, human and machine, actually to find it, and with it their own destruction. Both the Culture and the Idirans sought it. Deep within a fabled labyrinth on a barren world, a Planet of the Dead proscribed to mortals, lay a fugitive Mind. Within the cosmic conflict, an individual crusade.
The Idirans fought for their Faith the Culture for its moral right to exist. Moons, planets, the very stars themselves, faced destruction, cold-blooded, brutal, and worse, random.
