Dalla quarta di copertina

Return to the universe of Ragnarok - an epic space opera that pulls together ancient history, the dark events of the twentieth century and a remarkable vision of the far-flung future.

Following the devastating battle to protect his home planet, the young post-human Pilot Roger is slowly recuperating. The death of his parents in a heroic battle has left him alone in the universe. In Twentieth century Europe, Gavriela sees the darkness around her, and as the drums of the Third Reich get louder, she must flee to England. Recruited by the secret services and sent to Bletchley Park, she will have a chance to affect the outcome of the war. And in 8th century Norseland, a young man has encountered evil more than once, and may not be immune to its taint.

These three are not the only ones in the universe who can sense the gathering evil. The Ragnarok Council is beginning to form, and will fight the darkness throughout time and space . . .

'Absorption is the best hard science fiction I've read this year, well written, exciting, mysterious, full of interesting characters and ideas . . .' The Times
