About This Book

A small crew on a daring interplanetary voyage encounters a mysterious cylindrical body that interferes with their ship’s propulsion, producing a pull that resembles nothing known and forcing desperate maneuvers to avoid collision. The tension of the near-disaster unfolds alongside broader speculative material about space exploration and colonization, imagining how human populations might adapt and diverge across different planets. Episodic encounters among distinct planetary societies illustrate both the technical dangers of travel and the social and philosophical consequences of settling other worlds.
