For centuries, immortal aliens have treated Earth like their own theater. Wars, disasters, human suffering—it’s all been captured in vivid, full-sensory films for their amusement. But now the thrill is gone. Bored with routine tragedy, the aliens begin staging new spectacles, manipulating humanity for entertainment that’s bigger, bloodier, and far more dangerous.
Their interference violates every law of their kind. So when Investigator Kelexel is sent to bring order, he discovers Earth already teeters on the brink of chaos. What started as voyeurism has become meddling on a cosmic scale, with humanity caught in the crossfire.
From the New York Times–bestselling author of Dune, this chilling standalone novel explores power, morality, and the terrifying consequences of treating life as spectacle.
