Description
Product Description The number one bestsellerNominated for the Locus, Aurora andXing Yun (Chinese Nebula) Awards,and Longlisted for the British Science Fiction Associationand Sunburst AwardsTHE ULTIMATE HEIST Belisarius is aHomo quantus, engineered with impossible insight. But his gift is also a curse-an uncontrollable, even suicidal drive to know, to understand. Genetically flawed, he leaves his people to find a different life, and ends up becoming the galaxys greatest con man and thief. But the jobs are getting too easy and his extraordinary brain is chafing at the neglect. When a client offers him untold wealth to move a squadron of secret warships across an enemy wormhole, Belisarius jumps at it. Now he must embrace his true nature to pull off the job, alongside a crew of extraordinary men and women. If he succeeds, he could trigger an interstellar war or the next step in human evolution.
