Vast
Dethroned cult leader Lot Apollinario and his companions have left the sky-city of Silk with a mission. They aim to find the Chenzeme--the mysterious race that annihilated most sentient life in the galaxy many thousands of millennia ago--whose automated weapons still destroy all they meet. Yet life beyond the known fringes of "civilized" space is a strange and wild thing, and the heroes are unprepared for the wonders--and horrors--that wait in the vastness.
