Geodesica: Descent concludes the compelling, space-faring adventure begun by Geodesica: Ascent. Three unlikely allies begin plotting their revenge against an artificial intelligence behind the destruction of the system of Bedlam--and fight to control the ancient labyrinth of Geodesica.

The year is 2388. Humanity has spread to the stars, but the far-flung Arc Systems chafe under the tight control of the Exarchs, post-human AIs whose domination of Faster-Than Light technology gives them unsurpassed power. Then the discovery of a vast hyperspatial labyrinth known as the Geodesica changes everything.

Earth has been destroyed, and with it the natural order of things. What little that remains of humanity is caught between the Spinners and the Starfish, unsure whether to run, hide, or fight back. None of the options is particularly attractive, and none offers much hope for survival.
