Ring of Eternity: Mannequin

By B J Ranson

At the end of time, a desperate band of humans struggle to hold onto life in the ancient, dying galaxy...Trillions of years into the future, the universe is dying. A single dwarf star remains, alone amidst the dark ruins of the galaxy. Surrounding this star is an artificial ring world, built by unknown hands in a far distant past. Zee9 wakes into this world, having slumbered for innumerable millennia in the confines of an artificial reality. With a small band of associates he then sets out to discover the identity of himself and the amnesiac race that he finds himself a part of. Why, after all this time, did they wake up? And how did they come to be on this strange world at the end of time?Mannequin provides a unique study of human reactions to deep memory and the occupation of consciousness within artificially created bodies as well as simulated realities. These human elements are blended into a world engineered on an astronomical scale, where far future computer technology competes with a dying universe determined by the inevitable wheel of entropy.
