Summary:
The Earth is the graveyard of billions, thanks to mathematician and
rogue cryptographer Jack Potter and the treacherous extraterrestrial
creature known as Wheeler, Jack's one-time business partner in the
trade of alien and human technologies. But Potter and a handful of
others managed to escape the holocaust thanks to the miracle of
teleportation. From the cold gray ruins of the Moon, the last pitiful
remnants of the human race now stare down at the devastation that one
of their diminished species unwittingly helped to bring about. Here
at civilization's end, a beautiful Chinese mind assassin, a
cold-blooded cybernetics genius, a DNA-manipulating "gene witch," and
Jack himself stand at the threshold of a new day -- when accelerated
evolution will open the door to the full achievement of human
potential; when the epic saga of humanity will begin again and Jack
will ultimately be redeemed...if he doesn't go insane first.But
Wheeler is still out there -- and out to finish what he started. And
this universe isn't big enough for Jack Potter to hide himself in.
