Eric Ashford has finally achieved it all after being assisted by a cryptic and mysterious benevolence, but no sooner after his success does he rediscover the same road that he's spent years travelling to get there. He is now given the chance by clever intervention to see the intricate twists and turns along this route and why they were always there to dictate his course in the first place. These unforeseen directions are upstaged by the stretch that he never even knew he had already traversed in his impossible life. The enthralling first account among many to come in this new series has arrived on this very ambiguous heath of the known cosmos, and the inaugural steps towards the accumulation of their significance are taken at the thorough expense of this deluded man. The trajectory of his anguish is anything but nuanced in a pivotal piece of a dynamic universe.
