The long-anticipated fourth entry in Carver’s Chaos Chronicles (after 1996’s The Infinite Sea) is space opera at its most agreeably and classically science fictional. Someone or something is plotting murder on an interstellar scale, and a small company of exiles led by human John Bandicut may be the galaxy’s only chance of salvation. The prospective victims are sentient stars living in the Orion Nebula; half the challenge is simply opening communications. Luckily, Bandicut’s allies and sponsors include robots, symbiotes and the incredibly ancient multidimensional entity Deeaab.
Firefighting is a highly sought after career that only the best can get. Because so many people want to work in this highly challenging and rewarding field, numerous candidates apply for each job opening.
