The third book in the series, ‘Inara’, prepares the reader for the aftermath of Godfrey, and his friends success in defeating the Mainframe. With it’s iron grip choked out of existence, Tarquin’s control over the androids had been removed forever.

But the death of a human subsequently gave rise to the question. Would the masses ever trust Artificial Intelligence again?

When Nine and the other androids voted to leave Llar behind, the rioting started shortly after their departure. Where it would lead to was anyone’s guess.
Except for one man, and an ethereal green hologram in the Grand Plaza.

As Godfrey reflected on his excursion into the future, he knew. And there was nothing he could do to stop it. While the old hologram stood and watched the hoards destroying their heritage, the clock was ticking.

Time was running out.
