The Reefs of Time - The starstream is beautiful. But beauty turns deadly when an ancient AI bent on destruction uses it to travel uptime, to humanity's future. Bandicut and his alien companions believed the Mindaru dead, after their intervention to save the Starmaker Nebula (in Sunborn, the previous novel). But now a part of this ancient and malevolent AI colony is swarming toward the present from the deep past, and the company must find a way to stop it. (Part 1)
Crucible of Time - The war that Li-Jared's homeworld of Karellia is waging with neighboring planet Uduon has created a temporal disturbance along which the Mindaru are swarming out of the deep past. The threat they pose is not just to Karellia and Uduon, but all of the galaxy. However, there is more to the Mindaru than meets the eye. Conclusion of the unmissable adventure begun in The Reefs of Time. (Part 2)
