It is 2064. Earth is enjoying an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity, all due to the mysterious, benevolent Starmind, which has given humanity the resources to abolish war and exist in space.

So much so he is offered the prestigious title of Co-Artistic Director and Resident Shaper/Composer at the Shimizu Hotel - the finest, most luxurious hotel in High Earth Orbit. But prestige can have a price. And the Shimizu Hotel has suddenly become a hive of treachery and terrorism aimed at one purpose: the destruction of the Starmind. Now Rand must find a way to thwart the plot, or Earth will be destroyed. And humanity itself - so close to its final evolutionary stage - will cease to exist...
