Patrick Cumby Science Fiction

“An absolute masterpiece of science fiction… Cumby is a master storyteller.”
–Beatrice Toothman, Seattle Book Review

She was there at the moment of apocalypse, when our worlds changed and our past was lost forever. Some say she meddled in the affairs of the gods, and the Cataclysm was our punishment.

Now, 10,000 years after we have clawed our way back to interstellar civilization, she has returned to the worlds of the Known Arc. Is she our savior, as many believe, or is she the bringer of our final doom, her awful destiny come round at last?

Even she doesn’t know.
