For ten thousand years Nova Babylonia has been the greatest city of the Second Sphere, an interstellar civilization of human and other beings who throughout history have been secretly removed from Earth. Now humans from the far reaches of the Sphere have come, to offer immortality-and to urge them to build de-fenses against the alien invasion they know is coming. Meanwhile, on Mingulay, the invasion seems to have begun . . . As humans and aliens compete and conspire, the wheels of history will lathe all the players into shapes new and surprising. The alien invasion will reach New Babylon at last-led by the most alien figure of all.
