In the year 2255, of all the sentient beings in her universe, it
was a woman named Salma, twenty years old, who was the first fully
to see the object called Planet Nine. See with her own eyes, albeit
moderated by her ship's instruments. If not to recognise what it
was, not yet. Not that the object turned out to be a planet, or the
'ninth' of anything. Briefly thought to be a black hole, it
suddenly changes, expands and sends a message. There is something
waiting on its service. Something not quite human. As the
ramifications of this event spread across the fracturing elements
of humanity, it is clear that the small crew on the spot are at the
centre of the most dramatic discovery in history. But theirs is not
the only inexplicable event happening - impossibly, at exactly the
same moment, a quasar appeared twenty-five thousand light years
away, and now is heating up the solar system. If the enigma of the
creation node is not solved quickly, there may be no one left to
investigate it . . .
