Opis

ANCIENT DESIGNS: BOOK III OF THE APOCRYPHON CYCLE: Re-vised and re-edited: It has been a long journey for Geo and Alexandria, lately of the fifth War band. The Athanaeum have been broken, their home world of Sanctuary overrun by their enemies the Combine and Jade Compact, and their last Goliath-class ships have fled to the far off desert world of Atan. None of that helps Geo and Alexandria, as they have to unite the last huddled survivors of the war and bring them to safety, following a strange alien transmission that promises much. For Jessik the counter-intelligence Ghost, he is in similarly dire straits, as he has to hide with an outlaw band of dissidents on the corporate water-world of Vorhurlik, owned and run by the Faction-traitors Heliaos Corp. Who can he trust, now that his war-brothers and sisters JonLuk, Geo and Alexandria are lost to the stars? Finally, the night appears dark to the Priestess Nyx and her attendants Samara and Arial as they flee to the edge of known space, looking for the last of the Relics to try to save humanity. JonLuk has gone, kidnapped by an unknown intelligence, and now the only hope left is what they can do on their own... Can they stop the Combine-Jade Compact from devouring all of the last Factions of Humanity? Can they uncover what the darkness is that is rising through the cracks in space-time, an ancient and hungry evil awakens and coming for the brief light of mortality? Ancient Designs is Book Three of the epic space opera The Apocryphon Cycle, set in the far future amongst the dying Factional Age of Humanity. It weaves together gritty, militaristic SF with epic myth, all bound together by the blood of the characters....
