The Chaos Chronicles (Infinite Sea, Neptune Crossing, Eternity's End, Strange Attractors, Sunborn, and ???) is a very neat and clever series.
Carver has taken an EXTREMELY difficult story mechanism and actually made it work (by the skin of its teeth mind you).
The most difficult trick to pull off is to introduce unthinkably advanced protagonists and antagonists and then stick humans in the middle. How can the humans possibly survive, much less contribute to the storyline, in the face of the incredible powers and intelligence of the two forces arranged against each other?
Well Carver pulls it off. You do feel like the characters are flotsam floating on a sea of events at times (and they certainly feel the same way) but he manages to keep that from killing the story. That is a serious feat.
Sunborn is available as a download at Carver's website.

The problem with the first chapter was fixed.
