A brilliant, stunning saga begins . . .
Two millennia from now, there is no more electricity, wind engines are leading edge technology, librarians fight duels to settle disputes, steam power is banned by every major religion and a mysterious siren "Call" lures people to their watery graves. Nevertheless, a brilliant and ruthless leader intends to start and improbable war: a war against inconceivably ancient nuclear battlestations orbiting earth.
However, the greatest threat to humanity is not these ancient weapons but a demented and implacable enemy who has resurrected an obscene and evil concept from a distant past.
