The Polity is under attack from a "melded" AI entity with control of the lethal Jain technology, yet the attack seems to have no coherence. When one of Erebus' wormships eliminates large numbers on the world of Klurhammon, a high-tech agricultural world of no real tactical relevance, agent Ian Cormac is delivered to investigate, though he's secretly struggling to regulate a new capability no individual should possess... and starting to question the motives of his AI experts. Further disorders and apparently indiscriminate slaughter ensue, but only provide to bring some of the most dangerous individuals in the Polity in to the battle. Mr Crane, the indefatigable brass killing machine places out for vengeance, while Orlandine, a vastly-augmented haiman who herself control buttons Jain technology, looks for a tool of appalling vitality and sees allies from a historical war. In the meantime Mika, scientist and Dragon expert, is again kidnapped by that unfathomable alien entity and dragged in to the heart of things: to wake the creators of Jain technology off their five-million-year slumber. But Erebus' disorders aren't so indiscriminate, in the end, and could perfectly herald the end of the Polity itself....
