Un romanzo storico collettivo a forte valenza politica, un'avvicente cavalcata nel tempo sulle tracce di "Q" di Wu Ming. Un'ombra attraversa il Tempo: dall'antico Egitto, dove ha avuto origine, un pericolo minaccia il destino dell'Uomo. Un segreto custodito nei millenni da chi ha scelto di non avvalersi della sua potenza distruttrice.

Questo è un romanzo anti-biografico. Appino, Ufo e Karim – voce, chitarra e batteria degli Zen Circus – prestano i nomi e la vita a una storia che potrebbe essere una delle loro canzoni.

Zen is a misanthropic grad student of physics and religion who wants to kill his Self before it kills him—if he can figure out where he ends and it begins. His friend Ellie wants to save him, but he won’t let her into his life. Her ability to surgically remove a soul’s facade with her penetrating, laser-scalpel eyes terrifies him. She’s every broken piece of him that’s missing, but someone would have to die to get them together.

With the Liberation Front scattered in the East and much of the Leadership deceased or in custody, the situation for Jeremiah and Lady Verena is dire. Captain Broden Barão has been exiled to the Lower Level, while Supreme Scientist Heywood Querice reluctantly accepts Antosha's new strike team, which will execute the commonwealth's most daring mission ever. Antosha's new protégé, Champion Oriana Barão, fights her way through time and space to discover the truth about her family, Reassortment, and its cure.

More than anything, struggling tech support specialist Bradley Evans wants an alpha male lover. He thinks he's found his perfect match, but when his domineering stockbroker boyfriend goes too far, Bradley wonders if his flexible, mindful neighbor might be just what he needs. Ward Linden teaches autistic middle schoolers and is sexy and kind; but he isn't quite the alpha Bradley's been looking for. Do nice guys always have to finish last? Bradley explores what it means to be alpha male in this steamy, humor-laced gay romance.

Newborns Oriana and Pasha Barão are developed in preparation for the Harpoons, while Champion Gwendolyn Horvearth campaigns for Antosha Zereoue's bid to oversee Project Reassortment. Meanwhile, Jeremiah Selendia teaches his youngest son, Connor, more about his heritage and telepathic abilities, and a renewed accord leads the Beimeni Polemon to a city long forgotten.
