And the next chilling cycle is set to begin again. Startling discoveries reveal that the Moon, Venus, even Mars once thrived with life-life that was snuffed out not just once but many times, in cycles of birth and destruction. Meanwhile on Earth the Japanese scientist Nemoto fears her worst nightmares are coming true.

Fueled by an insatiable curiosity, Reid Malenfant ventures to the far edge of the solar system, where he discovers a strange artifact left behind by an alien civilization: A gateway that functions as a kind of quantum transporter, allowing virtually instantaneous travel over the vast distances of interstellar space. He continues to be one of the leading writers of hard science fiction, and one of the most thought-provoking as well.”- Science Fiction Chronicle “As always, Baxter plays with space and time with consummate skill.
