O ovoj e-knjizi
A secret threatens to upend millions of years of galactic peace in this "epic tale of visionary futures and scientific speculation" ( Library Journal).
Millions of years from now, humanity is driven to the brink of self-destruction. To save it, the world's great leaders create an elite group who keep the peace and safeguard humanity's future. Genetically enhanced, these Families are the carriers of Earth's greatest talents, a force unlike any in the history of mankind.
For ten million years, these Families have dominated the galaxy. But then Alice, a brilliant scientist of the Chamberlain family, took part in an attempt to create a new galaxy. Her experiment unleashed forces that the families could not control, causing a catastrophe that killed untold billions of people on many worlds.
Before she is punished, Alice visits her youngest brother, Ord. She reveals a secret that launches him on a quest—one that will take him across the vast reaches of space. He must discover his own true nature, and somehow restore the family honor. Sister Alice is his epic story.
