This is Book One in a very comprehensive universe created to hold a supremely powerful ruling being. They are named Corianna and are ultimately tamed by love. I was strongly reminded of the epic of Gilgamesh.

The grammar was terribly lacking, as if English was not the author's first language. The title is not clear-- 'Spectrum' appears nowhere in the story. Weighing against the technical problems are some awesome concepts of how a super-being can work either for or against its own species as a whole. The attempts at depicting gender-fluid family life are commendable if not convincing, and the depiction of different alien species is slap-dash and left to us readers to complete.
