Synopsis

"Great pace, great story! Paul J. Joseph has everything!"
- Jonas Saul, author of the Sarah Roberts Series

Suppose a ship from twenty years in the future arrives in our star system?

Suppose it’s been traveling in space for 1300 years in an attempt to stop its own mission?

And suppose it arrived twenty years too early and smack in the middle of a war?

From the mind of Paul J. Joseph, author of The Turing Files, including Romo’s Journey and The Railas Project

Settling into her new political career, now UN space commissioner, Sally Buds finds herself presiding over the aftermath of Earth's first colonial war. Baltan City, Earth's greatest achievement, tries to declare independence, spawning a violent and polarizing conflict. In the midst of this new cold war, an Earth ship from the future enters the system and appears to be approaching Baltan. Sally soon discovers that the ill-fated mission ties into her own timeline. The ship, Ultrablitz, launches 20 years after the day Sally sets foot on Baltan and involves the testing of an engine capable of creating its own space fold, with disastrous results. The crew of the Alliance ship Ultrablitz is alive, technically, but they've been in transit for 1300 years in an attempt to stop their own mission. And it becomes clear that there is more at stake than one ship, and it falls upon Sally to decide the fate of countless people across the centuries.

What is the secret that the enigmatic captain of the Ultrablitz has forgotten, and how can Sally carry his message and to whom?

And what of the alien creatures found in the ancient but future space vessel?

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Sally's life on Earth becomes boring when she turns to politics, but not for long. As UN space commissioner, Sally finds herself presiding over the aftermath of Earth's first colonial war. Baltan City, Earth's greatest achievement, tries to declare independence, which creates a violent and polarizing conflict. In the midst of this new cold war, an Earth ship from the future is entering the system and appears to be approaching Baltan. Sally and Ian must call a truce with the colonists long enough to investigate. The ill-fated mission launched 20 years after the day Sally Buds sets foot on Baltan involves the testing of an engine capable of creating its own fold. The results were disastrous. The crew of the Alliance ship Ultrablitz is still alive, technically, but they've been in transit for 1300 years in an attempt to stop their own mission. But, on further investigation, it becomes clear that there is yet more at stake and than one ship, and it falls upon Sally to decide the fate of thousands of people across the centuries.
