As ten years pass back on Earth, various pressures mount to recontact Rotor agent Crile Fisher is assigned to persuade physicist Tessa Wendel to invent a truly instantaneous hyperdrive-aboard Rotor, you see, is Fisher's daughter Marlene. What's more, the Nemesis system boasts a habitable planet, Erythro.

One such self-contained colony,' Rotor, bossed by the single-minded, secretive Jason Pitt, disappears from the solar system, having both discovered a hitherto unknown star nearby, the red dwarf Nemesis, and invented hyper-assistance, a drive that moves Rotor at the speed of light. In the 23rd century, a crowded Earth and dozens of space colonies are seeking new opportunities for development. From the author who needs no introduction: a medium-future space drama, often quite absorbing despite the absence of a theme or even much of a plot.
