Violent Skies, Volume II

A ragtag band of strangers flees for their lives, hunted by an organization that does not exist, with a limitless reach and endless resources at their command. Ruling from the shadows, this organization is ancient and powerful. And it is relentless. It has made nations and broken them. It has determined the course of history, orchestrated wars, and plotted the safety of humanity from a threat beyond the stars. What can a handful of strangers hope to accomplish against it?

Meanwhile, those who have survived unimaginable horrors, abandoned by the world and forgotten, with dwindling strength and little time, must come together or perish. But friends are few and enemies abound. In a hellscape of mystery and secrets, none is greater than this: Who-or what-is still out there? Where are they? What do they want? And is there any hope of getting home?

Experience Volume II of a science fiction epic too long for one book, where violence and despair war against hope, people prove to be the most unpredictable monsters and the most sublime heroes, and the world is not as we think it is. Fronted by a cast of unforgettable characters that includes serial killers and porn stars, ghosts and comedians, soldiers and priests, here is a novel more than ten years in the making, breathtaking science fiction as it should be.
