Summary
More than 700 years into its journey, a massive generation starship carries thousands of passengers to a new home that only their descendants - hundreds more years into the future - will live to see.
Life aboard the ship is a daily struggle. One young welder copes by writing a series of letters to an Earth he never knew. The experiences he describes are not as exciting as the ancient works of science fiction made it out to be - but that is about to change. An eccentric old man has offered to train him for an unprotected spacewalk - a dangerous ritual known as “facing space”.
As the day of the spacewalk nears, a quantum radar system warns of an inexplicable threat on the horizon. As the starship races toward calamity, its inhabitants are locked in a struggle between truth and illusion. It falls to the young welder to unravel the secrets of the people around him - and a deeper mystery within the structure of the ship itself - with nothing less than the fate of the human race lying in the balance.
