Book description
Across the galaxy, tensions are rising between the authoritarian
Tandesko Triune and the free-marketeers of the Auricle Alliance.
Nevertheless, scientists of both sides have come together in Project
Starmuse, to observe the giant star Betelgeuse as it goes supernova. At
the space station imbedded inside the roiling star, the team anxiously
awaits the return of the one man essential to the success of the
project. On Kantano's World, astronomer Willard Ruskin must discover why
someone has infected him with nano-agents--artificially intelligent,
microscopic computers, which alter his appearance, his memory, his very
DNA. Drawn into a conflict from which not even death will free him,
Ruskin must find a way to reach Betelgeuse before his enemies sabotage
Starmuse...and humankind's future among the stars. A harrowing journey
from inside the human cell--to the mind of a dying star. Jeffrey Allan
