Description
Eight hundred years after a devastating war, the light from a cataclysmic event, the Twin Novae battle, is about to reach Masaq' Orbital, home to fifty billion inhabitants. This momentous occasion brings together those seeking to commemorate the innocent lives lost and reflect on the Culture's own role in the tragedy. Amidst this solemn gathering, Major Quilan arrives from the war-torn world of Chel, ostensibly to confront the exiled Composer Ziller, but his true mission is far more complex and deeply buried. As a conspiracy unfolds, the consequences of past actions ripple into the present, questioning the very nature of justice and complicity within a vast, advanced civilization.
