About this audiobook
In the conclusion to Richard Farr’s richly imaginative Babel Trilogy, Morag and Daniel race toward a terrifying confrontation with an entity that holds the key to humanity’s fate.
After narrowly surviving an encounter with the Architects, Daniel Calder experiences visions of global destruction, dreamlike moments of insight, and vivid “memories” of a meeting with a famous scientist—none of which ever happened. When he and his sister, Morag Chen, are attacked by unknown assailants deep in the cavernous city of the I’iwa cave dwellers, they must escape with an enigmatic, centuries-old mathematical calculation.
Time is running out. All signs point to the final “Anabasis,” when the Babel myth will reach its terrible culmination. But thousands of miles of hazardous jungle and unforgiving ocean lie between the siblings and their one slim chance to fight back.
As they undertake their perilous journey, the apocalypse seems imminent: scores of vanished believers, global telecom failures, societies in chaos. The Architects have set the stage for their conquest, and Morag and Daniel—armed only with a list of mysterious numbers and the dreams of an aging astrophysicist—seem hopelessly outmatched.

Reviews for Infinity's Illusion
5 ratings1 review
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The trilogy had SO much potential. This last book's ending was awful. I love Morag, and the varied cultures and I gladly overlooked some things. Morag's inner thoughts went on a bit too long. This final book lacked rich characters and it felt like it was rushed. Daniel sees people to come and when we get there it's boring compared to his visions. The human bad guys are very comic book like and that's a shame. Where it ended for the group was a huge let down. It's like an editor took one story, chopped into 3 short books and failed to use that space of 3 books. I don't do reviews, but this was such a huge let down that I had to rate this final book on the series. I'm genuinely bummed out for the day. Don't get attached to the series.
