Publisher's Synopsis
Set a year and a half after the attacks detailed in The Fall of Heaven. Life is good and there are a few last-minute tasks to be done before the big day.
Miles deep in the Great Solomon Mines, a covert meeting is taking place that could determine the fate of New Jerusalem and maybe the known universe. A mysterious leader and his cadre of deadly assassins arrive to change the balance of power. If they are allowed to escape, there will be hell to pay. Thrown into war, will New Jerusalem survive where beauty is at the core of the problem? Rolland's troubles may have started with the Fall of Heaven, this time there is The War Within.Background
The remnant, the true owners of New Jerusalem came close to being exterminated. With control over their prosperous planet, they set about trying to create a utopian society that is just and peaceful. Robots do the hard work allowing the citizens of the megacities free to seek fun and activities.
The problem with all societies, from utopian to dystopian, is that there are still disgruntled and striving people in them mucking things up. Some think it would be better if they assumed control of everything.
Humanity would be great but for all the humans.
