The first novel of a new space-opera sequence set in an all-new universe by the Hugo Award-winning, "New York Times"-bestselling author of "Redshirts" and "Old Man's War." Riding The Flow, humanity spreads to innumerable other worlds. Earth is forgotten. A new empire arises, the Interdependency, based on the doctrine that no one human outpost can survive without the others. Its a hedge against interstellar war and, for the empires rulers, a system of control. The Flow is eternal but its not static. Just as a river changes course, The Flow changes as well. In rare cases, entire worlds have been cut off from the rest of humanity. When its discovered that the entire Flow is moving, possibly separating all human worlds from one another forever, three individuals a scientist, a starship captain, and the emperox of the Interdependency must race against time to discover what, if anything, can be salvaged from an interstellar empire on the brink of collapse. |
