Full Description
In the 23rd Century…
Aldous Leonard is a “Dozener,” an interstellar nomad, working passage on the city-sized ships that travel between the dozen Worlds of Man at close to the speed of light. His ship, the Gu Tian, supplies the newly settled systems with many things; but most important of all is it’s living cargo: 5000 settlers kept in suspended animation for decades, to awaken at their new home.
Yet someone, or something, is harvesting the Gu Tian’s human cargo. And tensions between Great China and the Martian Republic are threatening to boil over into an interstellar war.
Light years from any possible help, Aldous and his shipmates will confront an unknown force with insidious goals. In this universe, we and our creations are the aliens, and the terror comes with us to the stars.
