In the late 21st century, man-made, self-replicating organisms called mycora - smaller than bacteria - mutate and sweep across the globe in a chain reaction so swift and deadly there is not time to do anything but flee from an Earth destroyed buy the science created to sustain it. Now the remnants of humanity, clinging to the asteroid belt and the moons of Jupiter are about to face their greatest test. Mycora are incorporating gene sequences to elude human defences, perhaps eve to thrive in the harsh environment of the outer system. The only way to counter this is for the few surviving members of mankind to go to the diseased heart of the Mycosystem - Earth. Cover art by Chris Moore.
