Summary: Secrets of the Builders finally revealed
Review: The story opens with news that the Artifacts, centerpiece of this series, seem to be changing and, in some cases, disappearing. To further complicate matters, Artifact expert Darya Lang finds her academic turf threatened with the sudden appearance of newcomer Quintus Bloom who tells her he has discovered a new Artifact and also has a theory about the Builders and the purpose of their Artifacts. He thinks they were built by future humans to foster our development.

In a huff, Darya Lang sets out to explore Labyrinth and prove Bloom wrong. Hans Rebka, after a lover's quarrel with Lang, has no idea where she went and undertakes the exploration of another newly altered Artifact. Meanwhile, Louis Nenda and Atvar H'sial enter Bloom's employ as he explores the Torvil Anfract, the Artifact discovered in the last book of the series, TRANSCENDCE.

The simultaneous exploration of these Artifacts gets a trifle tedious and confusing, but the characters make up for it.

Summary: Read the other books before tackling this one
Review: This novel was very hard to get into without reading the previous books. I did like the lines in the end that stated if you don't take chances you don't get anywhere in life.
