"Faithfully emulates van Vogt's labyrinthine plot twists and energetic prose while answering questions. . . . that have burned in fans' minds for decades." — Booklist

In this heart-stopping sequel to A.E. van Vogt's World of Null-A, Gilbert Gosseyn, the superhuman amnesiac with a double brain, must pit his wits once more against the remorseless galactic dictator Enro the Red and the mysterious shadow-being known as The Follower. And he must do it while he is being hurled headlong through unimaginable distances in space, in time, and through alternate eternities to fend off the death and complete the rebirth of the Universe itself!

Praise for John C. Wright

"An exciting voice, adding richness to hard science fiction." —David Brin, Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author of Existence
