The Reality Dysfunction is a modern classic of science fiction, an extraordinary feat of storytelling on a truly epic scale.
Space is not the only void. . .
In AD 2600 the human race is finally beginning to realize its full potential. Hundreds of colonized planets scattered across the galaxy host a multitude of prosperous and wildly diverse cultures. Genetic engineering has pushed evolution far beyond nature's boundaries, defeating disease and producing extraordinary spaceborn creatures. Huge fleets of sentient trader starships thrive on the wealth created by the industrialization of entire star systems. And throughout inhabited space the Confederation Navy keeps the peace.

Dean Kelly One of the finest works of Sci-Fi/Horror I have ever read. This book (and the others making up the trilogy) is dazzling in its scope, mind-bogglingly well-conceived and the vast array of plot threads are expertly-handled and interweave beautifully. It is an absolutely epic read, and one which gripped me the whole way through.
