Book description
It will be the greatest voyage of exploration in human history. Fifty
men and women are chosen to crew the Wotan. Their mission: to travel
deep into the unknown galaxy in search of habitable worlds, to rekindle
the dying human spirit. Their only contact with Earth is the telepathic
link between one of the crew members and her sister back home. But when
the mind-link with Earth is abruptly broken the Wotan is lost in the
pearl-gray twilight of nospace. Then just as all seems lost, the Wotan
encounters a massive alien presence. Suddenly the crew is forced to
realise that their every assumption about life and death, humanity and
the universe, may be dead wrong. Robert Silverberg (1935 - ) Robert
