Synopsis

Francis Sandow is the last surviving human from the 21st century, now fabulously wealthy and a practitioner of the Pei'an art of worldscaping — literally terraforming planets using the powers of alien gods. When someone from his past begins killing off his associates, Sandow must confront both mortal enemies and divine forces on a world he himself created.
