Summary
TO SAVE THEIR CIVILISATION HE MUST
DESTROY IT... When images of a lost civilization are
'dreamed' by a self-proclaimed prophet of the age, Nigel
Sheldon, inventor of wormhole technology and creator of the
Commonwealth society, is asked to investigate. Especially as the dreams seem to be
coming from the Void - a mysterious area of living space
monitored and controlled because of its hugely destructive
capabilities. With it being the greatest threat to the known
universe, Nigel is committed to finding out what really lies
within the Void and if there's any truth to the visions
they've received. Does human life really exist inside
its boundary? But when Nigel crash lands inside the Void, on
a planet he didn't even know existed, he finds so much more
than he expected. Bienvenido: a world populated by the
ancestors of survivors from Commonwealth colony ships that
disappeared centuries ago. Since then they've been fighting
an increasingly desperate battle against the Fallers, a
space-born predator artificially evolved to conquer worlds.
Their sole purpose is to commit genocide against every
species they encounter. With their powerful telepathic lure -
that tempts any who stray across their path to a slow and
painful death - they are by far the greatest threat to
humanity's continued existence on this planet. But Nigel soon realizes that the
Fallers also hold the key to something he'd never hoped to
find - the destruction of the Void itself. If only he can
survive long enough to work out how to use it...
