Echopraxia is the 2nd book in the Firefall Series.
And dead ahead, a handful of rapture-stricken monks takes them all to a meeting with something they will only call "
The Angels of the Asteroids."
Their pilgrimage brings Dan Bruks, the fossil man, face-to-face with the biggest evolutionary breakpoint since the origin of thought itself..
A vampire and its entourage of zombie bodyguards lurk in the shadows behind.
To his right is a pilot who hasn\'t yet found the man she\'s sworn to kill on sight.
To his left is a grief-stricken soldier, obsessed by whispered messages from a dead son.
Now he\'s trapped on a ship bound for the center of the solar system.
But he awakens one night to find himself at the center of a storm that will turn all of history inside-out.
Taking refuge in the Oregon desert, he\'s turned his back on a humanity that shatters into strange new subspecies with every heartbeat.
Daniel Bruks is a living fossil: a field biologist in a world where biology has turned computational, a cat\'s-paw used by terrorists to kill thousands.
And it\'s all under surveillance by an alien presence that refuses to show itself.
It\'s the eve of the twenty-second century: a world where the dearly departed send postcards back from Heaven and evangelicals make scientific breakthroughs by speaking in tongues; where genetically engineered vampires solve problems intractable to baseline humans and soldiers come with zombie switches that shut off self-awareness during combat.
