As he descends deeper into the virtual realms most use to escape their harsh reality, he begins to question everything he has ever known.Meanwhile, on a distant colony, a young woman witnesses a shocking act of violence that sets her on a perilous path of discovery. As she unravels long-buried secrets, she faces unimaginable threats and realizes the world she thought she knew is built on a fragile framework of lies.As these seemingly unconnected stories intertwine, readers are drawn into a web of conspiracy, corporate greed, and hidden truths spanning the entire solar system.

"Revelation" awaits-where every revelation could be the key to humanity's salvation or the catalyst for its downfall. Denver Marshall Lane writes hard science fiction for readers who like their wonder grounded in real science.
