The Causal Angel

With a rogue’s charm and a thief’s cunning, Jean le Flambeur has danced through impossible prisons, stolen secrets from gods, and played every side of the great game. Now, in Hannu Rajaniemi’s dazzling conclusion to the trilogy, the gentleman trickster faces his final and most perilous caper.
Blending the elegance of Maurice Leblanc’s classic tales with the wonder and audacity of cutting-edge science fiction, Rajaniemi spins a story where reality itself is a con to be unraveled. Here are glittering futures, fractured humanity scattered across the system, and a cosmos where love, betrayal, and story are the only currencies that matter.
In The Causal Angel, the destinies of Jean, the enigmatic Mieli, the sharp-witted ship Perhonnen, and countless others collide in a tale of cosmic stakes and human hearts. It is the end of the game—and the last, greatest theft of all.
