The Fifth Evangelist

Alpha-Earth, Lesser Magellanic Cloud, 51st century: Spaceships have minds, an insurrection has ended, and youngsters at last supplant their deathless forebears. Andros Kybernetes returns to his kingdom with an Alphan-lord that no one has ever seen. The upshot will be war - old with young, machines with humans, Old Earth with New - and at last a planet-smashing Armageddon.In this riveting sequel to Sun's Strong Immortality, award-winning author William Illsey Atkinson continues the saga of the alphans - a splinter group who have perfected physical immortality and hidden themselves in a synthetic planet thousands of light-years from Old Earth.
