Publisher's Synopsis
Waking up from a near century-long hibernation-like state, Samuel Blake discovers things are not the way he expected them to be. Rather than needing to initiate the emergency recolonization procedure as planned, he finds that Earth is flourishing, showing no signs it is recovering from an Ice Age. Now living in a society that has mastered the use of nanotechnological devices, Samuel quickly gains the knowledge he seeks. Clyde Thompson, Samuel's assigned personal aide, guides his every move with the use of Lincc, the elite form of communication technology. He informs Samuel that humans have not only evolved territorially by becoming a multi-planetary species, but they have also evolved physically during the expansion. Learning of rising threats to Auspex, the new name of the solar system, Samuel agrees to join the top-ranking task force team to investigate and eradicate a mysterious army of criminals.
