ContentionBook Three

August Marlow has learned that they are surrounded by intelligently designed experiments, masquerading as common monsters. He’s learned that there is a hidden facility on Devil’s Nest. He’s learned that the mastermind of the entire situation may be waiting for them there—and she’s not alone. To save the Voithos from an eternity trapped in Limbo, he must first discover exactly where his enemy is hiding. A disastrous encounter with a Gaian at the site of a crashed transport ship gives them direction. But it also reveals that an even greater threat exists. Because there is something terribly wrong with the Children of Gaia.
