SynopsisFrom the two-time Hugo Award-winning author of the Coyote trilogy. June 1, 2288-Europe's first starship, the EASS "Galileo," launches on its maiden voyage to investigate an unidentified object, code-named Spindrift, which is traveling outside our solar system. An object that may be alien in origin. The "Galileo" disappears soon after... February 1, 2344-The "Galileo"'s shuttle returns to Earth carrying three surviving expedition members, who still appear to be the same age they were when they departed. They report that they have, indeed, made contact with an extraterrestrial race-and become enmeshed in a conflict that brought them face to face with the most apocalyptic force in the galaxy. It is up to Director General John Shillinglaw to piece together the puzzle created by these events- for the survivors tell their stories from their own conflicting perspectives. And the truth is more difficult to glean than it appears., In the year 2344, the Galileo's shuttle returns to Earth carrying three expedition members, who appear to be the same age they were when they departed. They report that they have made contact with an alien race--and have come face to face with the most apocalyptic force in the galaxy., In the year 2344, the shuttle from the long-missing EASS Galileo returns to Earth carrying three crew members who appear not to have aged. They report that they have made contact with an alien race--and have come face to face with the most apocalyptic force in the galaxy.
