About the book
In telling my story, there are certain things I should perhaps lie about. I should make myself a hero. Pretend I was not used by strangers and gods, did not leave people behind. Here is one truth: out there in deep space, in the pilot’s chair, I died. And then, I was reborn. I became something not quite human, something that could speak to the infinite dark. And I vowed to become the scourge of the world that wronged me. This is the story of the supernova event that burned planets and felled civilizations. This is also the story of the many lives I’ve lived since I died for the first time. Are you listening?

Reader voices
The most-liked reviews on Hardcover (credited to their authors).
“This book is and is not my cup of tea. I was tempted to give it 3 stars based on personal enjoyment (I thought it was a bit of a slog), but the philosophizing and ideas were good, so I’ll give it the 4 stars that it deserves. Maybe that’ll help pull readers who will properly appreciate it.”
