Who is Silverstein — and why does he never blink when the world is collapsing? What links a golden machine, a gorilla with rainbow eyes, and a dolphin-orca bred in silence? Why are the drones falling from the sky? What secret pulses beneath the gravitational wave? In the shadow of Einstein III — the towering, equatorial citadel built to decode the divine — an alliance is forming. Not one of nations. Not one of species. Something else. As exoskeletons burn and loyalties fracture, a question rises: Is the war already lost — or just beginning to remember itself? A literary science fiction novel, rich in vision, sensuality, and symbolic fire.
