Out of the 3 novellas i have read so far as part of the tensorate series this was my favorite. However, you need to read the first two to truly appreciate this one.
This novella takes place a few years after The red threads of fortune (novella #2) and many years after the black tides of Heaven. The format is an investigation. each chapter is a letter, diary entry, letter, report or transcripts from an interrogation.
The story follows the investigator trying to figure out what happened at a research facility, how did the employees die, who is to blame and why are things being covered up. Throughout the investigation we get to see characters from the first two novellas and learn more about the tensorate world.
If you enjoyed the first two novellas i would 100% recommend this one.
