Publisher's Summary

In a future where humanity is a refugee species, can refugees from the past save us?

The pneumavores ("soul eaters") have taken the Earth and have spread to every planet humanity has ever touched. Now, a Syrian refugee, a 13th-century librarian, and a hijabi shapeshifter from the far future must travel across space and time to defend humanity from this intergalactic and devouring evil.

They'll find allies: a wheelchair gunslinger from far-future Beijing. A legion of women soldiers wielding spinning saws that can slice through predators that only barely exist inside our universe. A strange child-empath who can hear all of humanity's suffering at every instant in history. A firestarter-goddess from our prehistory. Together, they will face a species that travels across time and feeds on terror itself.

Review for Ansible:

"Stant Litore may be SF's premier poet of loneliness." (Jason Kirk, author of Reverb and The Other Whites in South Africa)

"Litore's stories aren't only entertaining. They are stories invading our lives, unexpectedly. You encounter them, as you might encounter people. They are those random elements in life that happen to you, like a mugging, like childbirth, like falling in love and marriage, like death and the funeral that follows. They are moments that leave a mark, and leave you changed." (Andrew Hallam, PhD, Metropolitan State University of Denver)

"Stant eloquently writes passages that are so moving, full of passion, fury, loneliness, blind drive... He takes us to places of amazing beauty, awe-inspiring, as well as places where the implications in the story can leave you almost in despair for the human race." (Nikki Ebright, director, Myths & Legends Con)

It’s a vast beautifully told story

It’s an excellent listen. I have enjoyed the entire Ansible collection. Litore brings voices we haven’t heard and is unafraid of tackling fundamental human conditions.
