Synopsis

In this volume, the second in the Modulus series, Earth is governed by Corporations. Automation has made unemployment normal. The work ethic has been replaced by interactive virtual reality. Yet within ten years the population will exceed the ability of the infrastructure to feed everyone, and it will all come tumbling down... unless a productive solution can be achieved. In Volume 1 (Modulus) Paul Harden attempted a solution and failed badly. In the process, he destroyed an entire planet, killing almost all of its settlers. Now Harden is on the run, an escapee. He has a hole card he believes in, a way back to what he believes is his destiny. But when he reaches for that last card, he attracts the interest of an ancient threat: a hungry, ancient threat. Steve Holbrook, Pat, Tibs, Bobby Morrison, Martin Avery and many other characters from Modulus, Volume 1, go to extraordinary lengths to counter the threat, to do what can be done to resolve the worst of Earth's perils, and to bring Paul Harden at last to justice. In so doing we see the Earth as it may appear in a thousand years, when the seas have risen, humanity has sent aloft great orbital cities, and antimatter is a fuel. Reading volume 1 isn't necessary, though doing so may enhance contextual quality. This volume has been written to contain the background that the story needs.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

The criminal Paul Harden evaded capture, but his corporate empire is lost to him. Believing himself a hero, Harden must rebuild his financial resources to achieve his destiny and save humanity from itself. In his attempt to secure the means to save mankind his memories trigger a powerful reaction from the edge of the galaxy that will bring an ancient threat back from the remote past.

Steve Holbrook, Tibs, Bobby Morrison, Martin Avery, Chief Mackenzie and many other characters from the first volume go to extraordinary lengths to counter the threat, to do what can be done to resolve the worst of Earth's immediate perils, and to bring Paul Harden at last to justice.

While reading Modulus (Volume 1) would provide more complete context, the reader should find that Far Modulus (Volume 2) is comfortable on its own.
