HAVENFALL

Three worlds ended in the same instant. Three peoples awoke somewhere else.

Under Mount Shasta, Lieutenant General Thomas Maddox gives the last order of a lost war, sending every aircraft, and every metahuman he has left against the alien engines poised to drop the West Coast into the sea.

In Boston, Governor Chanelle Timmons authorizes the nuclear firebreak that will make her the woman who burned Hartford - because a fire giant is wading up the harbor and there is nothing else left to spend.

In Mobile Bay, Admiral George Farragut stands the last watch of the West aboard a resurrected battleship whose holds carry Beethoven's handwriting, the Magna Carta, and four thousand years of an idea worth dying for.

Then the hum comes up through the floor, the lights go out, and the enemies are simply gone.

This is the Havenfall - the landfall of three doomed civilizations on the inner surface of a constructed world the size of a solar system, where the horizon climbs into the sky and other peoples' daylight burns overhead like distant countries. Stitched down within reach of one another, separated only by an ocean of untouched wilderness, they are alive, unasked-for, and utterly without a map.

But the wilderness is not empty. And when Maddox's starving command crosses the border to seize farmland, they drive their machines into a village of running water and unwearied stone - a thank-you left standing outside of time by something far older than any of them, guarded by a people who have vowed to shed no blood upon it.

The frost on a bulldozer blade is not an attack. It is a sentence, patiently spoken, in a language no one has learned to hear.

Three nations. One hour from the first war of a new world. And nothing standing in the gap but an open hand, an oncoming storm, and a single piece of fruit carried down a mountain against orders.

They were given a world. Now they have to deserve it.
