In the far future, in the aftermath of a mysterious galactic catastrophe, a false prophet comes face to face with his greatest adversary yet: a man who thinks he's god, and might very well be right. While the battle for Earth rages around them, they face off, one wanting to conquer the world and the other to redeem it, and the victory may well decide the future of the galaxy, and of humanity itself.

Imre Bergamasc has arrived at Earth, although what he encounters is not what he expected. He is faced with a rebellion that doesn't want to hand over the planet to him and led by Jasper, a man who claims to be God. Told from Jasper's point of view, one that does not follow time in the usual way, we get to piece together the events of Imre arriving on Earth and the resulting battle between the two sides leading to a conclusion that is fitting.
Set in the same universe as his Astropolis books, Cenotaxis is a short story that takes place after Saturn Returns but before Earth Ascendant. As it's told from Jasper's viewpoint it's an interesting story, we see Imre and his colleagues differently, although each are still unmistakable. Jasper is also a good character, one that can live future parts of his life before ones in the past. This is surprisingly easy to read and the way he experiences time fits the story very well.
I'd recommend Cenotaxis without hesitation, although how it fits into the overall story arc is not yet clear to me - it comes across as an extended prologue rather than a stand alone, but I couldn't tell you whether this will be related to Earth Ascendant - that's one I'll be reading fairly soon to find out.

I was surprised at the thinness of this book, but it turned out to be a fascinating read. Once I discovered Cenotaxis was meant to be read between Saturn Returns and Earth Ascendant, both full-sized books, I immediatley ordered them. By deep, I mean that Cenotaxis surprises you, makes you think. It was so good, I plan to read it again in its proper place between the other two Astropolis series books.

This isnt a book, it is a short story. And even after having read the other stories from the same universe, it made no sense to me. No idea what it was about.
