At last the generation ship Jacob's Ladder has arrived at its
destination: the planet they have come to call Grail. But this
habitable jewel just happens to be populated already: by humans who
call their home Fortune. And they are wary of sharing Fortune -
especially people who have genetically engineered themselves to
such an extent that it is a matter of debate whether they are even
human anymore. To make matters worse, a shocking murder aboard the
Jacob's Ladder has alerted Captain Perceval and the Angel Nova that
formidable enemies remain hidden somewhere among the new crew. On
Grail - or Fortune, rather - Premier Danilaw views the approach of
the Jacob's Ladder with dread. Behind the diplomatic niceties of
first-contact protocol, he knows that the deadly game being played
is likely to erupt into full-blown war - even civil war. For as he
strives to chard a peaceful and prosperous path forward for his
people, internal threats emerge to take control by any means
necessary. Originally published in 2011 as Grail.
