Description

In a future where humanity has spread across the stars and evolved into myriad post-human forms, Jean le Flambeur is a legendary criminal, a master of deception and a thief of minds. His past is a carefully guarded secret, but his audacious heists—from the digital fortresses of advanced AI to the opulent vaults of Martian aristocrats—are whispered about across the galaxy. When he's finally captured and exiled to a forgotten penal colony, he finds himself drawn into a conspiracy that reaches to the very foundations of his existence and the nature of reality itself. This novel is a dazzling exploration of identity, memory, and the boundless possibilities of human (and post-human) evolution, told with breathtaking imagination and intricate world-building.
