In the near future, wireless bandwidth for data transmission is at a premium, with demand outstripping supply. Then a brand-new channel is discovered that allows almost infinite volumes of data to be
transmitted instantaneously. But strange things are happening to the users of this bandwidth, and the most likely explanation is scariest of all: this new channel may well be the pathway the dead use
to get from this life to the next. If true, and the world continues to clog it with spam, mp3s, and phone calls, what will happen to the most important journey humanity's souls will ever make?

Editorial Reviews
“By deftly extrapolating that doubt into everyone's most dreaded fears—loss of job, loss of friends, loss of children—Bear reanimates the old story of Faust, who sold his soul for unlimited knowledge and power, hinting ominously that the price of rampant technology may be dearer than we think.” —Publishers Weekly
“Bear’s masterful prose, effectively chilling and reminiscent of Koontz at his best, makes this a good pick for sf and horror fans.” —Booklist
