The first installment in a riveting new SF series from the author
of the "Shoal Sequence"It's 2235 and through the advent of wormhole
technology more than a dozen interstellar colonies have been linked
to Earth; but this new mode of transportation comes at a price and
there are risks. Saul Dumont knows this better than anyone. He's
still trying to cope with the loss of the wormhole link to the
Galileo system, which has stranded him on Earth far from his wife
and child for the past several years. Only weeks away from the link
with Galileo finally being re-established, he stumbles across a
conspiracy to suppress the discovery of a second, alien network of
wormholes which lead billions of years into the future. A covert
expedition is sent to what is named Site 17 to investigate, but
when an accident occurs and one of the expedition, Mitchell Stone,
disappears, they realize that they are dealing with something far
beyond their understanding. When a second expedition travels via
the wormholes to Earth in the near future of 2245 they discover a
devastated, lifeless solar system--all except for one man, Mitchell
Stone, recovered from an experimental cryogenics facility in the
ruins of a lunar city. Stone may be the only surviving witness to
the coming destruction of the Earth. But why is he the only
survivor--and once he's brought back to the present, is there any
way he and Saul can prevent the destruction that's coming?
