About This Book

A lone returnee from an intergalactic survey arrives at a starport bar bearing physical scars and a hollow detachment after his ship's crew vanished during a deep-space mission. The narrative follows his uneasy reintegration as patrons turn suspicious, a violent confrontation erupts, and he reluctantly recounts being the sole surviving crewmember while offering no explanation for the missing men. The story focuses on communal suspicion, survivor's guilt, and the psychological toll of encountering inexplicable phenomena, juxtaposing tense barroom scenes with the lingering, unresolved mystery of what happened beyond familiar space.
