EMPTY SPACE is a space adventure. We begin with the following
dream: An alien research tool the size of a brown dwarf star hangs
in the middle of nowhere, as a result of an attempt to place it
equidistant from everything else in every possible universe.
Somewhere in the fractal labyrinth beneath its surface, a woman
lies on an allotropic carbon deck, a white paste of nanomachines
oozing from the corner of her mouth. She is neither conscious nor
unconscious, dead nor alive. There is something wrong with her
cheekbones. At first you think she is changing from one thing into
another - perhaps it's a cat, perhaps it's something that only
looks like one - then you see that she is actually trying to be
both things at once. She is waiting for you, she has been waiting
for you for perhaps 10,000 years. She comes from the past, she
comes from the future. She is about to speak... EMPTY SPACE is a
sequel to LIGHT and NOVA SWING, three strands presented in
alternating chapters which will work their way separately back to
this image of frozen transformation.
