Description
<p><b>Space is deep<br>
Man is small <br>
and Time is his relentless enemy…</b>
<p>How far is too far?
What price do we pay for expanding our knowledge to the limit, for
exploring the farthest reaches of the universe, for extending our reach To the Stars?
<p>Alan Corday, a smart yet desperate young man, is
about to find out. His family fortune
squandered and the woman he loves unattainable, Corday will go to almost any
length to change his luck. But his
desperation leads him into harm’s way—and into the hands of one Captain Jocelyn
and his crew.
<p>Shanghaied from the spaceport at New Chicago,
Corday is taken aboard the Hound of Heaven, a craft bound for the stars…on a
journey through hell.
<p>186,000 miles per second. The speed of light. The Hound of Heaven approaches this speed to
reach its distant destinations. But three months traveling at that speed is equal
to half a century on earth—and the world they left behind is fast vanishing
into the past.
<p>Everything Corday loves, everything he believes
in—is history. He is a wanderer in
eternity, and nothing in the cold, dark forbidding reaches of space can prepare
him for the astounding discovery he will make upon his long-awaited return from
the stars.
