A stand-alone novel in alphabetical order... Before the Faction Paradox series from Image Comics, there was the War in Heaven--a wide-ranging conflict between the immovable Great Houses, the renegade Faction Paradox and other major powers. All of them posses time-travel technology--and all of them are trying to usurp various points in history, thus erasing their opponents from the timestream. Marking the first five decades of the cosmic-spanning conflict, the Book of the War is an A to Z self-contained complete guide to the Spiral Politic, from the beginning of recorded time to the fall of humanity.
