Across the gulf of space and time . . .
. . . That cannot be measured by Earth's science lies Shushuan, world of the Vinh. The ancient forgotten birthplace of humankind still calls to its long-lost offspring.

Enslaved and sold to one of the power-hungry keepers of what little advanced knowledge remains from past Vinh civilisations, they travel thousands of miles to the Vohung Kingdoms where the final battle for freedom of the Vinh will be fought. It is here that the intervention of Shushuan's incarnate deities, the Thirteen Gods, will be crucial. Their intervention - and their special interest in David Shaw . . .
