English Summary/英文概要： Six million years ago, at the very dawn of the starfaring era, Abigail Gentian fractured herself into a thousand male and female clones: the shatterlings. Sent out into the galaxy, these shatterlings have stood aloof as they document the rise and fall of countless human empires. They meet every two hundred thousand years, to exchange news and memories of their travels with their siblings.
Campion and Purslane are not only late for their thirty-second reunion, but they have brought along an amnesiac golden robot for a guest. But the wayward shatterlings get more than the scolding they expect: they face the discovery that someone has a very serious grudge against the Gentian line, and there is a very real possibility of traitors in their midst. The surviving shatterlings have to dodge exotic weapons while they regroup to try to solve the mystery of who is persecuting them, and why - before their ancient line is wiped out of existence, for ever.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 六百萬年前，starfaring紀元的黎明，Abigail Gentian把自己分裂克隆成幾千名男性和女性：shatterlings。派往星系，這些shatterlings冷漠地站在一旁記錄著人類帝國的興衰史。他們每二十萬年相遇一次，與他們的兄弟姐妹交換資訊和旅行的記憶。Campion和Purslane不僅來不及趕上第三十二次的團聚，他們帶來了一個作為客人的記憶缺失的金色機器人。但得到的是超出他們預期的，被任性不羈的shatterlings更多的責難：他們面對的是來自Gentian航線更為嚴重的怨恨，在他們中間很有可能存在著叛徒。倖存下來的shatterlings不得不躲避這些未知的武器，他們再次集結試圖解開誰是罪魁禍首，為何要叛變 — 在他們古老的航線被永遠消逝前。(Sandy)
