Michael Scott Rohan

Twice before Stephen Fisher has set sail upon the Spiral—that shifting melee of Space and Time that abuts accepted reality at ancient, hidden places. Once he was drawn in by chance, another time by need. Now great and terrible forces older than humankind are calling him back once more. The known world begins to fall apart on the day Stephen is rightfully recognized as head of a giant multinational industry. Magically fortified boundaries have been breached, forbidden thresholds crossed...and demons are descending en masse upon Europe. Malevolent beings from both within the Spiral and without have conspired to spill monsters into the Core—to spread fear and hatred and death...to destroy for the sake of destruction alone. And this unrelenting wave of horrors is but a harbinger of even greater terrors yet to come.

"Set hundreds of years in the future, this novel tells the story of the crew of The Dauntless, one of mankind's first interstellar ships, as they return to Earth. It took them hundreds of years, Earth time, to make their voyage. When they return, they initially believe their adventuring to be over, but it is only then that their real journey begins. Their world had changed in unexpected ways. It is ruled by a supreme ruler, the king, accompanied by powerful creatures known as the Purnarkat. The crew faces several crisis points where they must decide whom to follow, and even whom to believe. They find themselves caught between the followers of the Purnarkat and an ancient creature, who has his own plans for the crew and their ship"--Publisher's description.
