A brand-new novel from "the most exciting space opera writer
working today" (Locus). In a far distant future, an
enforcement agent named Quillon has been living incognito in
the last human city of Spearpoint, working as a pathologist
in the district morgue. But when a near-dead angel drops
onto his dissecting table, his world is wrenched apart. For
the angel is a winged posthuman from Spearpoint's Celestial
Levels, and with the dying body comes bad news-to save the
angel's life, Quillon must leave his home and travel into
the cold and hostile lands beyond the city.
