The interstellar courier returns in Dietz's second adventure, a novel of one man's choices-and a galaxy's fate.

Making good on a promise to a dead man, Rebo must deliver an AI known as Logos to a mysterious backwater planet. Once there, Logos will be capable of restoring the system of star gates that once knitted the settled worlds together. But as the Techno Society wars with murderous antitechnics, Rebo gets caught in the middle-and all he can do is run.
