A Star-Wheeled Sky
Well over a millennia in the past, men and women fled Earth. Escaping Armageddon. What they found — lost in some forgotten corner of the Milky Way Galaxy — was the Waywork: an alien superhighway system between a closed sphere of stars.
Now, the five Starstates — which rule all that’s left of humanity — are poised on the brink of another terrible war.
And three unlikely people — the daring daughter of a royal family, the reluctant son of an interstellar shipping magnate, and a disgraced flag officer seeking redemption—must come together to race against the forces of their greatest foe.
Because the Waywork may at last be ready to give up its secrets, and one woman — a merciless autocrat, from the Waywork’s most brutal regime — is determined to ensure that she controls it all. It’s a clash of civilizations, as the future of the human race hangs in the balance!
