Wrongly discredited as a space pilot, Panglor Balef is doomed to die in space, if sheer luck doesnโt bring him through. But luck has never been in Panglorโs cards. Bad enough to be coerced into a mission of murder and suicide, he must also contend with Aloโa young woman, stowaway, and impossible companion. Neither of them, nor his empathic ou-ralot, could possibly anticipate the journey through space-time they are about to embark on, through a door to an insane reality from which there is almost certainly no return. It could be the discovery of the millennium, but the only way home is to journey even further into the heart of madness.
The stunning prequel to the famed Star Rigger Universe of Jeffrey A. Carver, Nebula-nominated author of Eternityโs End and The Chaos Chronicles.
