Synopsis
IT'S A BRAVE NEW WORLD...
Phillip Wing is a brilliant architect--the designer of the new "Wonder of the World." While proud of his creation, Wing does not feel warmly towards those who brought the technology that helped to build it. The Messengers are aliens who have come to Earth with a message, a new religious philosophy that seems to sap human aggressiveness... and has taken Phillip's wife away from him.
While Wing struggles with his own life, on a distant world a living Goddess struggles with the future of her people.
Teaqua, the immortal Thearch of the Chani, has concluded that her people must enter fully into the consortium of the Messengers. To do so, she must die, in a way that will let the people know she has gone before them into the wider Universe.
The Messengers believe that there is only one being who can build a fitting tomb to achieve this purpose--Phillip Wing. To embark on the greatest challenge of his life, Wing will have to leave Earth... and abandon his own humanity.
