There for Gordy's computers,
Here for mine.
Thanks, Mike!
From where he knelt on the dirt floor, Bleys could see the soldier's body up against the far wall of the roughly dug, timber-framed bunker.

"Good luck, brother," the figure of Bleys said.

A CAPSTONE
TO AN SF EPIC


Donal Graeme was a Dorsai, a mercenary soldier, and also a mutant gifted with insight into the path forward for the human race.  Through his gifts, Graeme would come to bend time and live three lifetimes - and, in the process, run up against the existence of another mutant, Bleys Ahrens.

Like Graeme, Ahrens has a clear vision of the struggle in which he's involved - but, unfortunately, much less of a sense of human values.  Ahrens and his organization, the Others, are tracking down an elusive interplanetary opposition - but his own personal quest for power, which began with the best motives, has become something darker and more fierce.

Ahren's devisings may bring about the advent of Homo superior.  And they may destroy the human race.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
