Dead souls are pouring through to occupy the bodies of the living, and
their damned empire is expanding, threatening the Edenist habitats and
the Confederation itself.
This is the second part of the "The Reality Dysfunction" following on from
"The Reality Dysfunction - Emergence".
"The Reality Dysfunction" is itself part one of "The Night's Dawn" trilogy,
and since this trilogy is simply one big novel, the plot continues to unfold
in its gripping but excessively loquacious way.
Please refer to "The Naked God", final volume of the trilogy, for my
summation of this vast work.
In the United Kingdom, this book and its prequel
"The Reality Dysfunction - Emergence" are published as a single volume
"The Reality Dysfunction".
