COMING HOME, from veteran SF author Jack McDevitt, brings together
interstellar travel, an 8,000-year-old mystery, and a dramatic
mission to rescue 3,000 stranded spaceship passengers . 'The
logical heir to Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke' Stephen King
It's 1435 on Alex Benedict's world Rimway, eleven years since 3000
passengers boarded the Capella. The interstellar cruise ship is
trapped in a transdimensional space warp, frozen in time. Just a
few days have passed on board, and its inhabitants are oblivious to
having lost the lives they knew. There is hope for a high-profile
rescue attempt, but if it fails they may all die. As the Capella
effort becomes increasingly difficult, Alex comes across a rare
artifact dating back to the original NASA interstellar ships. The
discovery arouses suspicions and Alex and his pilot Chase can
uncover the truth only by returning to the museum-like planet
Earth. As Chase is pulled into the Capella rescue mission, the
entire human race watches and waits.
