The volume tells new stories about the universe of Spera, Pulaster and Andymon and covers the history of the Terrestrial (and more than Terrestrial) Space Fleet from the beginning in the 22nd century to the fifth millennium, and, in the last story, even much longer. In terms of space, the setting extends from our solar system over many different worlds - and the empty space between them - to a planet without a name which belongs to the star Iota Draconis, well over 100 lightyears from Earth.
Just discover outer space as it never has been! Get involved with: Signals from the extratemporians – Conspiration of the vessel AIs – Semantic sanitation of a robot – Worlds at absolut zero – Lost in infinity – People without puberty – Gorgeous view of the Oikumene.
