A SCIENCE FICTION TALE OF GLOBAL WARFARE AND THE PEOPLE WHO PROFIT FROM IT.
The world has been divided by the Barrier. For one hundred and fifteen years this extraterrestrial, epi-dimensional entity has divided the Earth into warring zones. Power-hungry politicians, gangsters, and spiritual fundamentalists are determined to thwart a potential treaty to end the internal wars.
When the treaty’s architect is assassinated, her protégée, Elleni, a talented renegade and one of the few able to negotiate the Barrier, is forced to take up her mantle.
Now Elleni and a motley crew of allies risk their lives to make the treaty work.
Can they repair their fractured world before the Barrier devours them completely?
