The Portalist · last updated

Human civilization has dispersed across the Solar System in 3229 A.D., held together by the foundational physics of the late master, Arthur Holywelkin, who spent his final years creating a complex, unique musical apparatus known only as The Orchestra.  

Johannes Wright, newly appointed as the Ninth Master, must embark on the perilous and ceremonial Grand Tour across the colonies, traveling from the outer planets down toward the fierce solar gravity well. As he progresses, Wright is compelled by a destiny he scarcely comprehends, all while facing relentless pursuit from a cadre of mysterious, hostile figures whose motives—and the true significance of The Orchestra—remain obscured by their unrelenting enmity.
