Fall Revolution #3 / #4: Divisions: The Cassini Division / The Sky Road
The Cassini Division: In the 24th century, post-humans, descendants of humans who transformed themselves with high tech, have warped the very fabric of the solar system for unknowable reasons. Ellen May Ngewthu has a plan to rid humanity of these beings, but she must first travel the entirety of the Solar Union, convincing others that post-humans are the threat she knows they are.

And, centuries in the future, as humanity again reaches into space, a young scholar could make the difference between success and failure. For his mysterious new lover has seduced him into the idea of extrapolating the ship's future from the dark archives of the past.
