A powerful, dangerous machine-lect reconnects with real space. Gazing across the galaxy, it decides to take action. The ruins of the Maspero may yield vital clues about the fabled Deliverer. The problem? The Maspero were Ascended Biologicals, whose ruins are generally best left alone... The craft-lect also has other problems. An internal attack has removed its control and isolated it from its crew. This time, it's not just angry, it's vengeful. Raising the stakes, Gil is confronted by startling hints of the past and the return of her extraordinary abilities. Meanwhile, Tor and DeVoid embark on a journey neither would have thought possible, following the arrival of their mysterious guest, and Apalu faces a terrible threat from the Wanderer civilisation's distant past.

Banks, Alastair Reynolds and Dan Simmons, then this is for you. 'Gil continues to amaze!... This Wanderer universe is rather intricate, great worldbuilding... Excellent third installment....' - Bookbub reviewer 'What a great continuation of an already great series!... Trust the author - he will make it all make sense.' - Goodreads reviewer
