Everything changes when the rocks wake up, with dire results.As secrets emerge and rival powers seize advantage, three worlds are shaken to their foundations--and all involved have to fight for their lives, and their futures.Science fiction legend Ken MacLeod begins a new space opera trilogy by imagining humankind on the precipice of discovery--the invention of faster-than-light travel unlocks a universe of new possibilities, and new dangers.
