Book 3 of the Nanotech Succession
by Linda Nagata
In pursuit of vengeance across time and space...
Aboard Null Boundary, a giant starship thousands of years old, four survivors of an ancient alien war are making a desperate journey: Lot, son of a fiery prophet and carrier of an insidious virus that spreads a cult-like religious mania among those it infects; Urban, Lot’s boyhood friend from the city of Silk, and a man in search of challenge and adventure; Clemantine, cast adrift when her world was destroyed and yearning for revenge; and Nikko, sometimes a living man, but always, the ship’s disembodied mind.
They are bound into unknown territory. Ahead of them loom vast, lightless clouds of dust and gas where stars are born, and where the alien Chenzeme are believed to live. The Chenzeme are an enigmatic race, whose automated warships have ravaged the living worlds of the galaxy’s Orion arm for millions of years… but why? Null Boundary’s crew is driven to find out — though in their quest to discover the source of the Chenzeme, they must also explore the terrible truth of their own past, the meaning of revenge, and the price each one of them is willing to pay for survival.
“...one of the most enjoyable SF books I’ve read in the last 12 years...I can safely say that it is one of the very novels that has literally haunted my dreams, in that the book exerted such a powerful hold on my waking imagination that come nighttime I found my sleeping brain racing ahead with the story. It’s awesome!” --Alastair Reynolds

About the Author
Linda Nagata is the author of many novels and short stories including
The Bohr Maker
, winner of the Locus Award for best first novel, and the novella “Goddesses,” the first online publication to receive a Nebula award. Her 2013 near-future military thriller
The Red: First Light
was the first self-published novel to be nominated for a Nebula and John W. Campbell Memorial award, and later sold to Simon & Schuster's Saga Press to be released in a new edition. Though Linda is best known for her science fiction, she writes fantasy too, exemplified by her darkly humorous “scoundrel lit” series Stories of the Puzzle Lands.
Linda lives in Hawaii, where she grew up in a rented beach house on the north shore of Oahu. After graduating from the University of Hawaii with a degree in zoology, she worked for a time at Haleakala National Park on the island of Maui. She has been a writer, a mom, a programmer of database-driven websites, and lately a publisher and book designer. She lives with her husband in their long-time Maui home.
