What if you could hold a memory in the palm of your hand?What if you could trade memories like souvenirs - or create structures that defy imagination? In the Mirage, you can. Centuries after the cataclysmic Vakragha attack, Mirage City floats above a forgotten world. Most have lost touch with the physical world altogether, except Jyana. Obsessed with the sea beneath the city, she discovers something is destroying the coral reef. No one believes her - not even Torin, the one she loves, who is consumed with keeping Mirage afloat. The city's colossal structures demand a constant flow of ambrosia, but shortages are spiraling out of control. In the midst of this unrest, a refugee from before the attack returns. Asha has come on a secret mission that could destabilize the entire planet - and bring the Mirage crashing down. Drawing on the real-world science of binaural beats as explored in Bob Monroe's groundbreaking work, The Mirage on the Brink of Oblivion is a mind-bending, out-of-body Sci-Fi adventure about love, memory, and the price of progress. --- "I am reminded of the epic space operas such as EE "Doc" Smith's Lensman series - this has a breadth and scope that is similarly grand, and equally epic... Strongly recommended, whether you are into space opera, general science fiction or fantasy - this book, this series, delivers." -- Kevin G. Rhoads, MIT The third book in the Aravinda series has all the elements of the others but amplified in intensity and inventiveness... Crusoe takes world-building to a new level here and the result is something to behold." -- Thomas Minderle, Author of Fringe Knowledge for Beginners
