Those who succumbed to it have acquired godlike powers, but now follow a far from divine gospel as they advance inexorably from world to world. On planets and asteroids, individuals battle for survival against the strange and brutal forces unleashed upon the universe. Governments teeter on the brink of anarchy, the Conferderation Navy is dangerously over-stretched, and a dark messiah prepares to invoke his own version of the final Night. In such desperate times the last thing the galaxy needs is a new and terrifyingly powerful weapon. Yet Dr Alkad Mzu is determined to retrieve the Alchemist - so she can complete here thirty-year vendetta to slay a star. Which means Joshua Calvert has to find Dr. Mzu and bring her back before the alchemist can be reactivated. But he's not alone in the chase, and there are people on both sides who have their own ideas about how to use the ultimate doomsday device. 6519560 1997 The Neutronium Alchemist (Night's Dawn Trilogy, Volume 2) total:480|5:200|4:181|3:79|2:17|1:3| 480 1998 609 13 5 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 01:07:17 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 01:20:50 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Mon Sep 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Nov 08 19:11:39 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 19:11:39 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Thu Oct 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Nov 02 02:03:09 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 02:17:23 -0800 2009 The Reality Dysfunction; what I said there stands for this volume as well.
