Earth failed. In a desperate bid to escape, the spaceship Enkidu and its captain, Heorest Holt, carried its precious human cargo to a potential new paradise. Generations later, this fragile colony has managed to survive, eking out a hardy existence. Yet life is tough, and much technological knowledge has been lost.

Then strangers appear. They possess unparalleled knowledge and thrilling technology – and they've arrived from another world to help humanity’s colonies. But not all is as it seems, and the price of the strangers' help may be the colony itself.

A Mystery. Identity crisis. Ravens!

I find it astonishing, in the best sense of the word, how different the individual volumes are. Volume three is definitely the one that deserves the label “mindfuck.” Unlike other reviews, I find the pacing and overall mystery to be perfect. The only downside imho is that after reading the third volume, it's clear to me that volume 2 is the most generic (but still interesting) part of the saga.
