This is the third volume in Hamilton's massive space opera--following THE REALITY DYSFUNCTION and THE NEUTRONIUM ALCHEMIST, both of which really MUST be read prior to attempting this one. It examines the alien cultures that may--or may not!--control the present-time universe of 2600 in which the descendents of humanity have split into genetically- and technologically-altered factions, each scrambling to colonize their own new worlds.
