Of the City of the Saved... is an original novel by Philip Purser-Hallard set in the Faction Paradox universe[1]. Although taking place in a shared universe, it is a stand-alone work that does not require any prior knowledge. Laura Tobin, who first appeared in the BBC Doctor Who books, is a major character in the novel, but no familiarity with her back story is assumed.
Plot introduction
Beyond the end of the universe exists a city the size of a galaxy. Within it every human being that ever lived, from the first australopithecine to the last posthuman, has been inexplicably resurrected. For three hundred years, the uncountable inhabitants have enjoyed their unaging and invulnerable second lives. But now, the unthinkable has happened. Someone has been murdered.
