With the Americans, the Engineers, and God preparing for war, the exiles and Bali try to broker alliances and find a way to establish peace on the Island. The End of the World isn't the End of the Story. Sixty-three souls plucked from Heaven are thrust into an experimental new universe. Haunted by the dark memories of their past lives on Earth and forced to live in an isolated community, a small group bands together to strike out into the new world and uncover the secrets of the Island. This is the last of three novels about Edward and the rest of the exiles trapped in a beta test conducted by their despondent god.
