要追求和平而邁向滅亡，還是為了拯救而背叛全人類？ 　　地球滅亡七百年後，人類已在銀河一隅成功殖民三百多個星系，組成萬星網聯盟，戮力維護和平，奠穩生存根基。在人工智慧自立之後組成的「智核」協助下，人類文明與科技發展臻至前所未有的高峰，距離不再隔閡，時間不成限制，壽命不斷延續。智核更以巨級資訊量與超級運算發展出準確度逼近百分之百的預測力，使得萬星網內的人類過著高枕無憂的日子。 　　唯一難以預測的威脅，來自數百年來遊蕩在萬星網之外的黑暗中、無法可理的化外之民：驅逐者。以及海柏利昂。 　　如今，驅逐者以超出萬星網人類政府與智核聯合預估的龐大戰力，圍攻海柏利昂；又以欺敵戰術，在霸軍措手不及之下，突襲了萬星網內的文明世界，一個個殖民星球毫無防禦地在猛烈砲火中燒毀，而萬星網毫無還手之力。這個包羅萬象、生機蓬勃的大千世界，即將就此崩解滅絕？主掌萬星網全局的霸聯首席執行官葛萊史東，是一手促成這場人類存亡悲劇的罪魁禍首？她之於萬星網，猶如希特勒之於猶太人？ 　　而，在海柏利昂上，七名朝聖者背負著自身過往故事的沉重，隔離於戰火之外，孤立無援地在時塚掙扎。他們逐一單獨面對荊魔神現身，挑戰，質疑，試煉，受死，他們用血與肉去衝撞荊魔神不朽的鋼身、鋒利的刺刃、無時不在的恐懼。不過，他們還有信念。 　　還有愛。 　　在永生不死與自由意志之間掙扎的霍依特神父。在求生或服從的殺戮與利他的奮戰犧牲之間抉擇的士兵卡薩德。為了超脫自身之外、達到藝術創作巔峰的詩人賽倫諾斯。為了女兒犧牲，亟欲探求上帝無情試煉背後真理的學者溫朝博。為了摯愛的父親與情人的理想，不願屈從表象的偵探拉蜜亞。曾經選擇背叛，亟欲贖罪的領事。曾經遵從信仰，最後選擇背離的船長。 　　以及，始終身為旁觀者與記錄者角色的重生模控人席維倫，最終一刻的選擇。 　　他們的選擇與作為，如何實現智核預測中不到百分之一的機率？如何釋放海柏利昂的不確定因素？如何能衝破命定的結局，開啟未來的希望？ 　　「這是最好的時代，這是最壞的時代；這是智慧的年代，這是愚蠢的年代；這是信仰的時期，這是懷疑的時期；這是光明的季節，這是黑暗的季節；這是希望之春，這是絕望之冬；我們的前途擁有一切，我們的前途一無所有；我們正走向天堂，我們也正直下地獄。」──狄更斯《雙城記》 　　★1990年科幻界最高榮譽雨果獎首獎、軌跡獎、法國宇宙獎、日本星雲獎得主 　　★《Popular...
