Publisher's Synopsis
- Eyre has survived the collapse of the galactic empire better than most of the lost colonies with a central government, a world trade network, an effective medical system — and a pathological fear of death. When the medical re-contact ship, Waiora , arrives with its dual mission of finding the plague and stabilizing surviving colonies, its crew is quickly immersed in a religious schism that threatens their mission and their lives. As a mysterious contagion threatens lives and incites revolution against the Caducean Order, the Waiorans must choose between the success of their mission and their most deeply held values.
- This is the second volume of The Plague Confederacy series from Alison Sinclair.
