Marvelous effort!" -Jack McDevitt, author of Seeker and Chindi. . . . and other works of Jeffrey A. Carver "Masterfully captures the joy of exploration." -Publishers Weekly "One of the few hard SF writers whose characters are as interesting as the deep science." -Melissa Scott, author of Dreamships and Trouble and Her Friends "Jeff Carver is a hard sf writer who gets it right-his science and his people are equally convincing.
