Neith, a Sicarii Knight, is one of a specially evolved race bound to the will of The Hierarch - an omnipotent wise man who dictates the workings of the universe. His newest assignment is to assassinate a Scavenger, who The Hierarch has determined will bring about the destruction of the planet Taylor. This Scavenger, a downtrodden orphan boy stuck in the service of a cruel trade magnate, has no knowledge of his providence, but will, if unfettered, spiral into a state from which he can never recover, sealing the fate of millions.
The second published novel from author Tony Del Degan is his first foray into the wide world of science-fiction; it is endearing, disturbing, and entirely unique, providing a possible glimpse into the future of our human race: a violent, disturbing vestige.
Praise for Tony Del Degan:
"If you like sci-fi this is a must read novel. The world building is amazing but the roots of the story and characters have a lasting impact. An evolved society with everything from animalistic malformed addicts to omnipotent beings will lure you in and the differences in the two main characters will give you such an insight into the inner workings of of this universe."
