Empyrion II: The Siege of Dome

“What they saw, streaking through the atmosphere, was a turquoise world—blue-green with vegetation, water, and cloud-laced sky: a world never seen before. Here was a virginal world, rich and ripe, free and unspoiled. A perfect world—or so it seemed in those first dizzying moments of discovery. . .

How could they know what lay ahead?

Vagabond, bon vivant, debt-dodger, and writer of history books nobody buys, Orion Treet is astounded to be invited to accompany a top-secret mission. Sprawling mega-corporation Cynetics offers him 8 million dollars and the chance of a lifetime: observe and document an extra-terrestrial colony on a newly discovered planet: Empyrion.

In hardback for the first time, this Enhanced Edition also includes:


  • A six page author interview on the writing and themes of the book.
  • Material from the author's archives: the original, deleted epigram and prologue.
  • The author's hand-drawn reference map.
  • A newly approved text and redesigned interior
