Necromancer (novel)

The Guild embraces a philosophy of destruction with the hope of making space for the rise of a new evolutionary form of humanity.

Formain enlists under the mastery of Necromancer Jason Warren and the ethereal influence of musical vocalist Kantele Maki.

In each book, Formain realizes the function of each mathematical collective in the flow of objective history and subjective reality.

The more technical definition, the occupation of telling the future by communicating with the dead, is applied in the identity and history of Paul Formain, once again, revealed in the climax of the book.

(as The Genetic General) was actually written first, Necromancer is chronologically the first story in Dickson's Childe Cycle of novels.

However, Sandra Miesel identifies Paul Formain as another incarnation of characters found later in the Childe Cycle: Hal Mayne and Donal Graeme.
