内容简介：
Cy Tiller thought his posting to McMann Station would be another dull, tedious job. Until, that is, an alien artifact called the God Seed emerges from the Rift and begins toying with his mind. When someone destroys McMann Station for possession of the God Seed, Cy is caught up in a conspiracy involving the United Bloc Space Navy, the Vatican and the Laconii, an alien race at war with Earth. What begins as a search for a murderous traitor in league with the alien Laconii and for the enigmatic God Seed soon becomes a race to prevent the destruction of the universe. Following the clues of an ancient Tellurian Prophecy and a destiny foretold in a deck of tarot cards, Cy and his companions must stop Joseph, a renegade Vatican priest, from releasing God from his eons-old prison.
