"Menelaus Montrose - gunslinger, idealist, and posthuman genius - has gone into cryosuspension following the discovery that, in eight thousand years, a powerful alien intelligence will reach Earth to assess humanity's value as slaves. Montrose intends to be alive to meet that threat, but he is awakened repeatedly throughout the centuries to confront the woes of a violently changing world.
The result is a breathtaking vision of future history like nothing before imagined: sweeping, tumultuous, and ever more alien, as Montrose's immortal enemies and former shipmates from the starship Hermetic harness the forces of evolution to continously reshape Earth in their image, seeking to create a version of man the approaching slavers will find worthy of domination.
The Hermetic Millennia is the second novel in John C. Wright's boldly inventive space opera series that began with Count to a Trillion."
