About Terminal World

Spearpoint, the last human city, is divided into zones where reality permits different, rigidly limited levels of technology. When pathologist Quillon receives a dying winged posthuman carrying bad news, he must flee into the hostile lands beyond the city—just as the physical rules shaping Spearpoint begin to destabilize.
