Not all fallen angels are sentient from heaven.
The tranquil life of the Confederation has been shattered by the old menace's eventual release from Lalonde. Those who fell prey to it have become gods, yet they now travel the globe relentlessly, preaching a message that is far from divine.
People fight to survive against the weird and terrible forces that the cosmos has unleashed on planets and asteroids. The Conferderation Navy is severely overstretched, governments teeter on the verge of chaos, and a dark messiah is ready to call in his own version of the last Night.
The cosmos does not need a new, terrifyingly powerful weapon at these dire times. Nevertheless, Dr. Alkad Mzu is committed to finding the Alchemist in order to fulfill her thirty-year grudge to kill a celebrity. Which implies that before the alchemist is revived, Joshua Calvert has to locate Dr. Mzu and bring her back.
He's not alone in his pursuit, however, as there are others on both sides with different theories on how to use the ultimate doomsday device.
