About this audiobook
Caught in the grip of a devastating trap set by their greatest enemy, a legendary crew is hurled into an incomprehensible, multi-dimensional void. To escape the swirling vortex of Valeron, they must engineer miraculous new sciences on the fly while fending off terrifying, disembodied intellects. Every calculation and desperate maneuver inches them closer to either magnificent triumph or eternal exile in an alien geometry. A monumental space opera that pushes the boundaries of cosmic engineering and sheer narrative scale.
