Babylon 5 and Deep Space Nine Fans, READ THIS BOOK.
A great story regarding a blockaded space station with a ship from Earths past suddenly appearing.
Mainly the novel is a mystery regarding the strange ship, and what it’s implications are for the galaxy at large. I really don’t want to spoil anything, if you like Sci Fi mysteries you’ll definitely enjoy this.
The world building is excellent. Truly alien aliens and sympathetic human characters. The author includes just enough glimpses into the history and background of the setting to ignite the imagination.
The book isn’t going to be remembered as an undisputed classic but it delivers everything sci fi should.

- Epigraph
- Time past and time future
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.
'Burnt Norton', T.S. Elliot, 1944
Dream the centre far for me
When it burns then we may see
Paths outflung in fixity
Deceive us
Cry the centre close to me
Let the burning rivers flee
Tears we shed together will
Redeem us
S... (show all)ing the centre into me
Fill the light and set me free
Now and then forever be
Within us
