Beyond humanity, beyond the singularity, beyond consciousness itself! Humans have been exiled from their homeworld by the artificial intelligence that has assumed control of the galaxy. Evolution is now stagnant and an ancient protocol has been activated. Journey from the monastery to the Profane Quadrant, the Planet of the Technocides, and further still! What will the novice and her companions discover ON GABADON? What is written on the Perfect Wall? What will be unleashed when the cycle of speciation begins anew? Find out in this ultra-dynamic, pan-galactic, trans-stylistic space rock opera that explores a mystery of cosmic proportions.
