A WORLD APART...

Optera! Birthplace of the Flowers of Life and their agents of retribution, the Invid... nexus for an unfolding of events that had left the galaxy reshaped and redefined... and now the focal point of the Sentinels' long campaign to liverate the Quadrant from the Regent's tyranny.

Edwards is on his way to Optera, in flight from Tirol with his prisoner Lynn-Minmei and a handful of Invid Inorganics under his control. So too are Bretai's Zentraedi - closing on the very world the Imperative bade them defoliate generations ago - and the renegade forces of Tesla, mutated beyond recognition by the fruits of the Flower.

The Sentinels themselves are not far behind. However, they have Peryton to deal with first - a godforsaken planet cursed by fate and time itself. But what awaits Rick, Lisa, and the Human Sentinels there is a mere primer for what is to come: the realization that they have journeyed across the galaxy...

TO WAGE WAR AGAINST EACH OTHER!

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
