The fifth in the Hamish McAllister Chronicles. As far as Hamish McAllister is concerned, the threat of global religious genocide has passed. One of the protagonists is dead, and the other has been effectively neutralised for all eternity, and Hamish can now turn his attention to the ongoing challenge of finding sufficient computing resources to maintain the ever increasing universe of virtual worlds. When Japanese psychologist, Hisako Myamoto, offers to use her AltLife project to demonstrate how quantum computers could solve their processing problems, Hamish and his chief software architect, Rajesh Singh, jump at the chance.But Hisako has a darker reason for wanting to use the virtual world’s unique software a second project that neither Hamish nor Raj can know about. The unforeseen side effects of her secret personal quest will change Raj’s existence for ever, and set him and Hamish on a race against time to try to prevent the resurgence of the threat to humanity they thought they’d solved forever.
