Citadel: Paths in Darkness

THE REAL STRANGERS ARE WITHIN. "Kevin Tumlinson has this ability to make us believe in his characters. In addition to the understated precision of his style, the thing that distinguishes Kevin's fiction is his ability with plot. He is a natural storyteller." - DR. JAMES ULMER, AUTHOR OF "THE SECRET LIFE" A MIND DIVIDED. A HOLLOW VICTORY. A NEW SPECIES. Against all odds, on an unchartered world, the souls of First Colony have been restored to life, and a centuries old wrong has been righted-sort of. On the planet's surface, a young woman struggles to reclaim her mind from the strange aftereffects of the cancellation wave. High above, the struggling colony's last hope of going home slowly falls from orbit, and two men face death to prevent it. And as the human colonists and their Esool captain struggle for survival, a new species emerges that can be the colony's savior-or its most dangerous enemy. As if it needed more. BOOK TWO OF THREE "Groundbreaking work, ready for the science fiction hall of fame!" "Tumlinson's Citadel series is an amazing fantasy omnibus, one of the best sci fi boxed sets you can read." "It has all the humor, complexity and charm of books by Andy Weir and Hugh Howey - a rich scifi landscape that constantly surprises and keeps you turning page after page."
