Eternal Light
For Dorthy Yoshida — abused earthborn Talent and prime player in the secret history of the galaxy — the seeds of destiny were sown a million years in the past...when a giant sun exploded and vast civilizations died in the subsequent blood feuding of ten thousand alien family nations. Or perhaps it all began a dozen years before her birth — when a Greater Brazilian flyby drone was destroyed above a red dwarf star, drawing an uncomprehending human race into a thousand-millennia-old genocidal conflict that was not their own. And now Dorthy's extraordinary mental ability to touch the past and the future has made her the pawn of a wealthy immortal's vengeance — rocketing her to the black hole at the core of the galaxy, and into the perilous heart of a fanatical religious sect's relentless search for hidden gods. For it is here that the final battle must ultimately be fought against a fearsome, invisible Enemy who has harnessed the powers of creation to obliterate a universe. And it is Dorthy Yoshida who stands at the frontlines of the war for tomorrow — unknowingly possessing the answers to the mysteries of eternity...and the key to preventing the apocalyptic unraveling of space and time.
