BOOK THREE OF THE GAP SERIES
Stephen Donaldson's bestselling series reaches new levels of intensity and power as complex schemes within schemes begin to unravel on a lonely planetoid in forbidden space, where the players in a power game of mind-shattering proportions are heading for an explosive confrontation.
After a terrifying encounter with the Amnion aliens, Nick Succorso makes for the safety of Thanatos Minor, the infamous bootleg shipyard where illegals from all over the galaxy come to repair their ships and indulge their exotic tastes in entertainment. But the Amnion are waiting, and for Nick, Morn Hyland and force-grown son Davies, the safe haven turns into a vision of hell.
One thing is certain – they will not be alone. Angus Thermopyle has been captured by the UMCP and turned into a deadly cyborg. Now, as the UMC controllers look on from the sidelines, he is heading for Thanatos Minor, programmed to carry out a secret mission that could have nightmarish consequences for them all. . .
