The inspiring sequel to THE UNWOUND WAY
Playwright Evan Larkspur disappeared when his Naval survey ship suffered a cold-sleep malfunction. But a century later, he has miraculously returned, with jumbled memories of what happened, to find that the free society promised by the Kanalist movement has been replaced by a repressive dictatorship.
Larkspur's plays are now revered by the underground Kanalists, and his appearance could provide a focus for resistance. But just when he is poised to step forward, he learns that someone claiming to be Larkspur is staging a revolutionary play on the breakaway world Venezia!
How can this be? Is he a genuine revolutionary, using Larkspur's name to rally the Kanalists? Or is he a tool of the government trying to flush out the hidden Kanalists once and for all?
Or—unthinkable!—are Larkspur's damaged memories merely a madman's fantasies after all?
“To say THE END OF FAME is a well-textured novel is akin to saying the Mona Lisa is a nice picture; well, yes, that's true, but it hardly does the work justice.”
