Mysterious creation, dazzling technology, a chance encounter in the past, and a pursuit in the present. After leaping five thousand light-years, is what they seek still only a mirage? The Ancestral War descends. How will the line between gods and humans be drawn? Are victory and defeat one and the same, or is victory itself defeat? As humanity evolves, how does a person become a god? And how does a god fall back into being human? Are standing above all and falling from on high the same thing, or not?
