Polity Agent

In a gripping tale set 800 years in the future, a runcible gate opens into the Polity, allowing refugees to escape an alien pursuer as they seek to return the alien 'Maker' to its civilization in the Small Magellanic cloud. As the gate is destroyed to prevent the pursuer from following, agent Cormac uncovers the devastating impact of a virus known as Jain technology that has eradicated the Maker civilization. Amidst growing threats, including the mysterious distribution of dangerous Jain nodes by an entity called the Legate and the actions of the renegade ship The King of Hearts, questions arise about the true purpose of the Maker’s bioconstruct, Dragon.
