For fans of epic science fiction and fantasy comes the breathtaking conclusion to the Stolen Man Trilogy. An ancient alien AI god awakens. A cybernetic human reborn. Telepathic dragons rise to war. Sorceresses of terrible power. All converge in a final battle that will decide the fate of worlds. Elijah awakens to a nightmare. Kidnapped by alien slavers and paralyzed by their gas, he lies helpless on a cold metal table aboard a colossal spacecraft carrier drifting in orbit. Unable to move, he watches as a tall, genetically modified alien approaches-and one question burns through his terror: where is Alahna? Elsewhere on board the ship, vengeance has already been unleashed. The ruthless usurper, sorceress Yenara-also taken captive-stalks the alien corridors encased in a shimmering field of force. With every step she drains the life essence of the slavers who dared to imprison her. Bodies litter the passageways behind her, proof of a power that no blade, no blaster, and no army can stop. And far away on the world of Janaidar, ancient forces awaken. Dragons and the Sisteren join their power to activate the ultimate weapon: the fortress of the WuShi-an ancient alien AI of terrifying might. Rising from the depths of the ShenLan Sea, the colossal dodecahedral city tears free of the ocean, gravity generators shedding vast sheets of water in thunderous waterfalls. The war for the galaxy has begun. And when AI gods, dragons, and sorceresses clash, nothing will remain unchanged.
