Taken together, these three systems have allowed humanity - not to mention every other species - to explore and colonize stars that are an unimaginable distance away from the cradle of our race, and without them, we would still be reduced to using sublight engines only and relying on cryostasis for any journey beyond the asteroid belt of the Sol System.
It is wise to note that in the latter half of the twentieth century, the Voyager space probe was launched. It took more than fifty years to leave the Sol System. Any ship traveling toward Alpha Centauri now passes by it within a few minutes of entering hyperspace, and most pilots barely give it a passing glance. But it is not expected to reach that system for another seven hundred years, despite having been launched more than five hundred years ago.

mlrsdpicmabout 2 months agoReally enjoy the story but could have left out the engine stuff and had more story line to it.
arrowglass2 months agoThoroughly enjoying the story, the explanations, the suspense, the whole thing!!!!!!!!
ShotThroughTheHeart2 months agoA very enjoyable read, indeed. The sometimes overwhelming number of protagonists is quite well countered by the naming of the chapters, which helps making the connections to the storylines a lot less strenuous. Good choice!
Five stars, of course! 👍
Ravey192 months agoExcellent. I can see things starting to move but I'm sure there will be roadblocks on the way. Looking forward to the next instalment.
