Publisher's Summary

More than 700 years into its journey, a massive generation starship carries thousands of passengers to a new home that only their descendants - hundreds more years into the future - will live to see. 

Life aboard the ship is a daily struggle. One young welder copes by writing a series of letters to an Earth he never knew. The experiences he describes are not as exciting as the ancient works of science fiction made it out to be - but that is about to change. An eccentric old man has offered to train him for an unprotected spacewalk - a dangerous ritual known as “facing space”. 

As the day of the spacewalk nears, a quantum radar system warns of an inexplicable threat on the horizon. As the starship races toward calamity, its inhabitants are locked in a struggle between truth and illusion. It falls to the young welder to unravel the secrets of the people around him - and a deeper mystery within the structure of the ship itself - with nothing less than the fate of the human race lying in the balance.

You wont regret it...well worth the credit.

Please tell me there will be a sequel? This is a story of young love, adventure and coming to grips with death amid a generation ship. I can't say enough good thing about this book i really enjoyed it, as it was different from other space dramas i've read. It has a realistic feel of life aboard this ship. Please consider another book.

Slow but good

It was a bit of a slow start to the story but the more I listened, the more I got drawn into the story!
