About This Book

A patrol ship and its diverse crew—human and alien—operate along the galaxy's edge when instruments detect an unprecedented, high-speed swarm of meteoric matter coming from the black void beyond the stars. The crew watches the formation on shipboard charts, notes its slowing yet still dangerous velocity, and prepares to hold position and report the phenomenon to central command while discussing possible ether-currents and risks. The narrative contrasts detailed cosmic description and the variety of life aboard the vessel with growing unease as an enormous, unexplained mass from the surrounding emptiness advances toward the galaxy.
