All of time and space seems impossible to record, but not for those who survive at the end of the universe. For the Synchronisers, this is not the end. They will survive the Cold Dark by migrating to the next universe. But first, they must learn from this universe's mistakes. To this end, they must record all they can.

Bra'daj was sent to the Galaxy of Besporous to record a war that tore two civilisations apart. His collection of stories will provide more knowledge than any Synchroniser could have known, and will certainly influence The Departure.
What will Bra'daj learn?
What can The War of Shattered Light teach the Synchronisers?
Will everyone survive the toil of this war?
