Synopsis
A nightmare with no end ....
In AD2600 the human race is finally beginning to realise its full potential. Hundreds of colonised planets scattered across the galaxy host a multitude of prosperous and wildly diverse cultures. Genetic engineering has pushed evolution far beyond nature's boundaries, defeating disease and producing extraordinary spaceborn creatures. Huge fleets of sentient trader starships thrive on the wealth created by the industrialisation of entire star systems. And throughout inhabited space the Confederation Navy keeps the peace. A true golden age is within our grasp.
But now something has gone catastrophically wrong. On a primitive colony planet a renegade criminal's chance encounter with an utterly alien entity unleashes the most primal of all our fears. An extinct race which inhabited the galaxy aeons ago called it 'The Reality Dysfunction'. It is the nightmare which has prowled beside us since the beginning of history.

Une bon space- opera, j’ai hâte de lire la suite.
Que dire ? Tout simplement une petite merveille. J'ai rarement rencontré un livre à l'univers aussi riche et détaillé. Les histoires des différents personnages se croisent et se décroisent sans cesse. On est happé dès les premières pages. Pour tout dire, ce livre a trouvé sa place au côté de Dune.
