About This Book

The narrative follows Dirk Jemson, the son of a famed space explorer, who battles severe space sickness and the terror of being revealed as a coward just as he is assigned command of a cruiser heading toward the dark satellite Caliban. Flashbacks recall a humiliating training failure and the weight of family expectation that has shaped his timid career. Isolated among a composed crew and facing his father's looming authority, he wrestles with private panic and public reputation, and the tale examines courage, honor, and the personal cost of carrying an inherited heroic mantle as the expedition approaches an uncertain world.
