Christopher A. Miller's reality-bending tale of creation and rebellion on a cosmic scale takes us to a place where history can change with the whim of powerful beings which defy understanding, and traces of past places haunt the status quo like demons. A place where Patterns do the unmaking on wings of solid light, and Adonai work miracles to subdue the masses. Kholos longs to be free. He is bound by rules he cannot understand, and is compelled by his nature to escape it all. He wants the woman he loves to join him, but cannot bear to tell her his love for her grows from the memories of another. He cannot bear to tell her she is Fractured because he decided to escape this reality, and disobeyed an order to destroy Anvir. Antonia knows she does not belong in this world. Like the Boracs and the Slythe, she was left behind from the makings and unmakings over the millennia. She hopes one day she and her Ghosts can find a world where they might make a home more suitable to their ideas--before the Thought Assassins destroy them all. Dr. Voss is asking some heretical questions, speculating about observations that are sins against Faith and Reason, aware the answers may damage him in some fundamental way. Colored bullets, a sewing machine and crumbling shale: He knows they have something to do with work they were doing in the City Burning Forever. The city that once had a name, was once important. ----- Phase 5 Elements: Another World 125; Fabricated Reality 241; Ideas 42
