About This Book

The narrator, a spaceship officer recovering from a recent lunar wreck, and his companions learn of a small interstellar body entering the inner system. Astronomers report strange behavior: it alters course unpredictably, emits distorted light that obscures its surface, and threatens to disturb planetary motions. Authorities censor information while public alarm spreads, and speculation alternates between natural wanderer and guided craft. As the object approaches, the narrator and his allies are drawn into official investigations and escalating technological and political tensions, and they work to uncover the nature of the encroaching mystery.
