About This Book

A desperate space crew discovers that high-speed meteoric dust is piercing tested hulls and destroying earlier ships, forcing an emergency detour into the moon's shadow and a clandestine rendezvous with an alien vessel. After boarding the stranger's craft they voyage onward to a verdant but hostile world where human assumptions and military rivalries collide with unfamiliar cultures and technologies. The narrative contrasts the fragility of spaceflight and human infighting with the need to prepare ethically and peacefully before attempting interplanetary expansion.
