Summary
When the supergiant star Antares
exploded in 2512, the human colony on Alta found their pathway
to the stars gone, isolating them from the rest of human space
for more than a century. Then one day, a powerful warship
materialized in the system without warning. Alarmed by the
sudden appearance of such behemoth, the commanders of the Altan
Space Navy dispatched one of their most powerful ships to
investigate. What ASNS Discovery finds when they finally catch
the intruder is a battered hulk manned by a dead crew. That is
disturbing news for the Altans. For the dead battleship could
easily have defeated the whole of the Altan navy. If it could
find Alta, then so could whoever it was that beat it. Something
would have to be done.
