Across light years of space, millions of settlers have come to the planet Deucalion to escape their past and build their future. Deucalion is a source of great wealth and a chance for a new beginning. But what does this mean for the Elokoi, who lived there first, or for the children of "Icarus", who made the journey for a very different reason? And why are people dying mysteriously?

'When we die, we who lived it, we who ultimately survived . who will really remember? For all the volumes written, all the minutely researched accounts of events. Deep down at the core of their understanding, who will know? Who will even remember how it all began? Deucalion a hundred years after the Revolution is a model society, and life is good. But all that is about to change. Death arrives one day on the C-ship Pandora, and suddenly no one is safe. Over night, the old rules no longer apply. When every breath and every decision is a matter of life and death, when every friend is a potential threat, and the only one you can count on is yourself, how deep does your civilisation really run? In his long-anticipated sequel to the multi-award-winning Deucalion, Brian Caswell takes us a century further into his vision of Humanity's future.' (Publisher's blurb)

'Telepathy, technology and eight hundred years of unbroken peace. For the younger generation, life on Deucalion is utopian but maybe just a little bit too predictable.
'But now, a thousand years after the settlement of the planet – and centuries after all contact was lost with Earth – an expedition, using a new and untried technology, is setting out into the unknown to discover what happened all those years ago on the mother-planet. What they find there will threaten their very survival and raise questions about what it means to be human and civilized.
'The Dreams of the Chosen is the long-awaited final chapter in the multi-award-winning Deucalion Sequence, which started with Deucalion and was followed by its acclaimed sequel, The View from Ararat. Revisit Brian Caswell’s epic and compelling history of the future.' (Publisher's blurb)
