How can you live with yourself when you've taken a vow to harm no living thing and you must go to war?In the triumphant close of The Neverness Cycle, which began with Neverness, The Broken God, and The Wild, Danlo must return to Neverness to face the demons and ghosts of his past. Behind him travels the armada of the Architects of the Cybernetic Universal Church, who intend to use their morrashar to blow up the stars. A fleet of lightships led by Danlo's friend Bardo also converges on the City of Light. And Danlo's best friend, Hanuman li Tosh, who has unleashed a new, cybernetic religion called Ringism upon the Civilized Worlds, will do all that he can to convert Danlo to his terrifying dream of transforming the universe - either that or to kill him.Danlo must somehow prevent the worst of the coming war. To do that, though, he must understand the Elder Eddas that his father Mallory Ringess discovered: the secret of life encoded in the human genome and perhaps in the very structure of matter itself.

Why are the stars of the Milky Way exploding into supernovas, and how can the destruction of the galaxy be stopped?Along with ten elite lightship pilots seeking the answer to this question, Danlo wi Soli Ringess sets out into the blasted, burned-out region of space known as the Vild in Book Two of David Zindell's epic science fiction trilogy, A Requiem For Homo Sapiens. Although the Order of Mystic Mathematicians and Other Seekers of the Ineffable Flame has sent him, Danlo has more personal reasons for making this quest: Do the Architects of the Cybernetic Universal Church, who engineered the virus that killed his tribe, know of a cure for the terrible plague that promises to wipe out the rest of his people? And did his father, Mallory Ringess, die during the first mission to the Vild or did he become a god?In his epic journey into the unmapped regions of the galaxy, he faces many challenges. A warrior-poet named Malaclypse Redring, charged with killing all potential gods, pursues him across the stars. The immensely powerful Solid State Entity creates a replica of Old Earth and tests his ability to discern the real from the unreal. In order to survive the strange mathematical spaces of the manifold and other surrealities, he must master the cybernetic senses of iconicity, syntaxis, and gestalt, as well as fractality, fugue, and fenestration. And on a lost world in the heart of the Vild, he must call upon all that he has learned in order to look into the blinding supernova of his own consciousness and so win the admiration of his enemies and gain a godly power - either that or die . . . .The Wild continues the saga that began with Neverness and The Broken God.
