Synopsis

"Already airborne, the flock of hungry Kuugan screamed twice in unison. Every man aboard the ship mouthed prayers to appease Fendor’s birds. Every man except Divi, who leaned on his spear-shaft and moved his lips a little in contempt. It had been a long time since he had fled through the Fendoramon, the twin pillars that guarded the harbor entrance at Tythre, and out into Mengan’s equatorial ocean, beyond the reach of the priests and the chiefs. He was going to miss being free of all this.The Kuugan screamed again."Divi is a shadowface, someone who builds virtual realities for both work and play on an isolated space station. It seems an ideal job until his past and his future he must confront both at once.
