Book III of Northworld. A world of eight warring planes where gods and men battle for mastery of the Matrix, a high-tech bridge through space and time. A world where weaponry is the supreme art.  Where peace can be crueler than combat. Where a single battle could puncture the Matrix and plunge the entire population – king android, lizard and serf – into the void. In a last titanic conflict, Security Forces Commissioner Nils Hansen faces the ultimate test – it is written that not all are fated to die on the final day of Northworld…but which few will survive?
