Dome 6
Book 3 of the Tinkered Starsong series
Phex, Missit, and their pantheons have become the galaxy's most celebrated gods, but fame cannot conceal the divinity's true purpose much longer. The alien powers controlling their music will protect their system at any cost, even as its consequences threaten performers and entire populations. Understanding what his voice can do forces Phex to decide whether imposing peace is salvation or another form of destruction. Expansive and morally searching, this trilogy finale suits readers who enjoy found-family ensembles, dangerous art, alien mysteries, ethical dilemmas, and conclusions that ask whether benevolent intentions can justify taking choice away from billions.
