In this science fiction epic, classical literature and futuristic technology collide as scholars from a distant future resurrect the events of Homer's "Iliad" on an alternate Mars. The narrative intertwines the lives of ancient Greek heroes, sentient robots from Jupiter's moons, and the last remnants of humanity on an Earth transformed by post-human beings of immense power. As the reenacted Trojan War unfolds with god-like beings intervening, the separate storylines converge to reveal a complex tapestry of time manipulation, existential threats, and a quest for knowledge that could unravel the very fabric of the universe.
