In the third book in the acclaimed author Alastair Reynolds's Inhibitor Trilogy, the last remnants of humanity realize that their only chance for survival may mean forging an alliance with a mysterious alien force.
The Inhibitors were designed to eliminate any life-form reaching a certain level of intelligence - and they've targeted humanity. War veteran Clavain and a ragtag group of refugees have fled into hiding. Their leadership is faltering, and their situation is growing more desperate. But their little colony has just received an unexpected visitor: an avenging angel with the power to lead mankind to safety - or draw down its darkest enemy.
