Reality Dust
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reality Dust is the 6th work in Stephen Baxter's Xeelee Sequence series. The novella was released in 2000 by PS Publishing.
The plot begins not very long after the Third Expansion began (the First Expansion ended when humanity was conquered by the Squeem; the Second Expansion ended with the conquest of humanity by the Qax, and the Third Expansion, ~5400 CE, began after the events of Timelike Infinity, pursuant to Jim Bolder's destruction of the Qax home-system). The protagonist, one "Hama", an investigator for Earth's Truth Commission, is investigating the surviving Qax-colloborators (as the Qax restricted access to AS- anti-senescence technology- to colloborators, they are rather old, and are known as "Pharaohs"); he follows one renegade Pharaoh to Callisto.
It is collected in the anthology Resplendent.
