Summary
TO SAVE THEIR CIVILISATION HE MUST
DESTROY IT . . . When images of a lost civilization are
'dreamed' by a self-proclaimed prophet of the age, Nigel
Sheldon, inventor of wormhole technology and creator of the
Commonwealth society, is asked to investigate. Especially as
the dreams seem to be coming from the Void - a mysterious area
of living space monitored and controlled because of its hugely
destructive capabilities. With it being the greatest threat to
the known universe, Nigel is committed to finding out what
really lies within the Void and if there's any truth to the
visions they've received. Does human life really exist inside
its boundary?But when Nigel crash lands inside the Void, on a
planet he didn't even know existed, he finds so much more than
he expected. Bienvenido: a world populated by the ancestors of
survivors from Commonwealth colony ships that disappeared
centuries ago. Since then they've been fighting an increasingly
desperate battle against the Fallers, a space-born predator
artificially evolved to conquer worlds. Their sole purpose is
to commit genocide against every species they encounter. With
their powerful telepathic lure - that tempts any who stray
across their path to a slow and painful death - they are by far
the greatest threat to humanity's continued existence on this
planet.But Nigel soon realizes that the Fallers also hold the
key to something he'd never hoped to find - the destruction of
the Void itself. If only he can survive long enough to work out
how to use it . . .
