This is the third volume by the author of Reality 36 and Omega Point.

In the future, Mars is dying for the second time. Kaibeli sets off to find the librarian while Dr. Holland seeks to map the remnants of the biosphere. When Holland ’s company hides an artifact it leads to tragedy and the consequences ripple through time.

This is an energetic tome more than immersive reality and a highly intelligent study of a world run by AIs in transition. It is also scary. Worth the thought and conjecture. Left me afraid of the future and our ability to live within the confines. Enjoy the Challenge. ~~ Pam Allan
