Publisher Description
After interstellar courier Jak Rebo agrees to deliver a powerful artificial intelligence named Logos to a distant planet, he quickly comes to realize that it’s no ordinary assignment. Logos has the power to not only reactivate the ancient stargates, but to restore interstellar travel, and bring the far flung remnants of humanity back together again.
Some, like the members of the ruthless Techno Society, want to harness Logos and control it. Others, including those who fear technology, seek to destroy it.
Together with Lonni Norr, the beautiful clairvoyant who can channel spirits from the afterlife, and the bodyguard Hoggles, Rebo will have to outrun his many enemies, and prevent Logos from falling into the wrong hands if he is to prevent humanity from falling into oblivion.
With electrifying action, unstoppable heroes and gripping adventure, Logos Run is the thrilling conclusion to Runner by acclaimed military science fiction author William C. Dietz.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the start of Dietz's fast-moving sequel to Runner (2005), human civilization is about to lapse into a new dark age after the collapse of an interstellar empire threatens to isolate many of the inhabited worlds. However, the web of star gates that once spanned the empire may be reactivated if the duo of super-courier Jak Rebo and ESP-sensitive Lonni Norr can deliver the shape-changing AI, Logos, to the control center housed in the artificial satellite of a remote planet. Antitechnology fanatics would do anything to prevent that, the unscrupulous Techno Society craves the power that will accompany control of the restored network, and Logos has selfish plans of its own. In addition, the disembodied spirits of dead characters hang around to influence the action and sometimes to possess the bodies of the living. In a military SF novel that will entertain readers with a taste for cheerfully casual mayhem, much treachery and betrayal ensue, and there's seldom a dull-or quiet-moment.
