By the mid-twenty-first century, humanity is beginning to enjoy membership in the Galactic Milieu. Human colonies are thriving on numerous planets, life on Earth is peaceful and prosperous, and as more humans are being born with metapsychic abilities, it will not be long before these gifted minds at last achieve total Unity.

But xenophobia is deeply rooted in the human soul. A growing corps of rebels plots to keep the people of Earth forever separate, led by a man obsessed with human superiority: Marc Remillard. Marc's goal is nothing less than the elevation of human metapsychics above all others, by way of artificial enhancement of mental faculties. His methods are unpalatable, his goal horrific. And so Marc and his coconspi

Final book in this series. Brings to fruition the Metaphysical Rebellion as well as the destruction of Fury. Wanted more of the Rebellion and less on Fury. The whole Fury plot line is interesting but totally took over the novel. ( )

I really enjoyed this series. To me, this was a great opportunity to revisit some of the great characters of the Many-Colored Land series, and read about all that lead up to the events of that series. May does a good job creating characters that are easy to like, even as you wish you didn't like such flawed people, or those who may have only their best interests in mind. Unlike some of her other books, the characters did not weaken the book for me, and I thought the plot was enjoyable. ( )

Tegen het midden van de 21e eeuw begint de mensheid plezier te krijgen in haar lidmaatschap van het Galactisch Bestel. Op vele planeten floreren de menselijke kolonies, het leven op Aarde is vredig en voorspoedig, en aangezien er steeds meer mensen worden geboren met metafysische gaven, zal het niet lang meer duren voor deze begiftigde geesten eindelijk een totale Eenheid kunnen vormen.

Maar vreemdelingenhaat zit diep verankerd in de menselijke ziel. Een groeiende groep rebellen, geleid door een man met een obsessie voor de menselijke superioriteit, Marc Remillard, tracht de mensen van Aarde voor altijd gescheiden te houden. Marc's doel is niets minder dan het verheffen van het bovennatuurlijke deel der mensheid boven alle anderen, door middel van kunstmatige verbetering van geestelijke mogelijkheden. Zijn methoden zijn onsmakelijk, zijn doel weerzinwekkend. En dus zetten Marc en zijn medesamenzweerders hun werk in het geheim voort.

Slechts dezelfde Eenheid die hij vreest en verafschuwt kan Marc's plannen dwarsbomen. En alleen Marc's broer, Jack en een jonge vrouw, Diamanten Masker, kunnen het Metaconcert aanvoeren en Marc vernietigen, de Mensheid verenigen en de weg vrijmaken voor het begin van de Gouden Eeuw van het Galactisch Bestel...

The final book. It offput me from the start since it began by revealing all of the mysteries that came before. Still, a good read, and almost makes me want to read the Pleistocene books. ( )
