Only they have the power to balance the titanic forces which threaten to unleash havoc upon all eternity. Fraught with danger, these unlikely paragons become caughtin the crossfire and the cross-hairs of these implacable enemies as they race towards an intergalactic endgame, to unlock the harrowing truth of Armageddon's secret before it is too late.

Beacon A Robot's Odyssey is a science-fiction masterpiece of betrayal and pragmatism set on an epic scale. Its riddles will leave you guessing until the very last page
