Enter the world of the Entire in this first book of the celebrated four-volume epic.

In a land-locked galaxy that tunnels through our own, the Entire gathers both human and alien beings under a sky of fire, called the bright. A land of wonders, the Entire is sustained by monumental storm walls and a never-ending river. Over all, the elegant and cruel Tarig rule supreme.

Into this rich milieu is thrust Titus Quinn, former star pilot, bereft of his beloved wife and daughter who are assumed dead by everyone on Earth except Quinn. Believing them trapped in a parallel universe—one where he himself may have been imprisoned—he returns to the Entire to free them. Thus begins a tale of high adventure and vast concept, replete with alien cultures, a tunnel universe, and a man with nothing left to lose. He may not find what he seeks, but he'll be offered a view of the multiverse, the power of princes, an unthinkable revenge—and unexpectedly, love.

This series has been compared to Riverworld, Dune and the writing of Stephen R. Donaldson and Peter F. Hamilton. "A riveting launch." —Publisher's Weekly starred review
