Ion

Set at the beginning of the 23rd Century, as the Game of Life and Death draws to its inevitable conclusion, Ion, book six of the series, follows the adventures of Exander Metro, his son Ion, Meredith's daughter Jet, and the tribal crew of the Ghost as they venture into the past to unlock ancient secrets and find the Objects of Power needed to do battle with Death Himself. Welcome to The Republic of Dreams, where unseen combatants wage a proxy war in a world that is equal parts science, history, metaphor and mystery. The proxy war is now out in the open, and the casualties mount rapidly as the encounters with unreality escalate in violence and heart-wrenching consequences until the conflict becomes global in scale and life itself hangs desperately in the balance. Will Ariadne, the global artificial intelligence, be the key to survival? The members of the Metro family? Zara Gee and the Alliance fleet? One of the Gods Who Remain? Or will it be Sinar and her fellow autons? Not even Ion himself can see where the future will lead them as they search desperately for a way to stave off the End.
