Ecumenopolis on the threshold of war. Three mighty civilizations draw their battle fleets toward the site of a future clash. Ascetic Bramains, the wolves of Great Pumpilia and Largitas—the flagship of technological progress—are all ready to sink their teeth into one another.
The cause of the conflict is a small boy—an incredible miracle. Even the anti-ses, titans of the cosmos, who walk on their own between the stars, violate their neutrality. Conspiracies, intrigues, political scandals, secret operations—and in the underground bunker, father and son build a fragile ladder of trust and love.
Where will this ladder lead them? To the sky?!
“Prodigal Son” is the fifth novel in the epic “Ecumenopolis,” long deserving the interest and love of readers. “Cosmic Symphony” was written by G. L. Oldi ten years ago, and in “a faraway galaxy,” the year goes by two—so it’s no accident that the new novel has the subtitle “Ecumenopolis: Twenty Years Later.”
What happens next? The universe will never be the same again.
