Nether Station

Space exploration and the curious pursuit of knowledge might sometimes be the wrong decisions. A wormhole has been discovered in the vast end of our solar system, and after numerous probes only add to the questions, a team of astronauts heads to the region. They take turns monitoring the systems for six months while the others slumber in cryogenic sleep. The wormhole appears stable, and when a probe starts transmitting a signal over four years later from our nearest star system, the hope is to make this a way station for travel between the two galaxies. The six-year journey to the portal is tense and chaotic for the group, but the problems are merely beginning once they arrive, and what they discover will change everything they understand. For Dr. Cammie Skoura, a scientific genius who lacks an understanding of social norms, this mission must succeed, no matter the cost. Anderson has created a compelling story with a great cast of characters. The tension builds as the truth emerges, and as the team tries to cope with the ramifications of its discovery, things become more terrifying. Both thriller and SF fans will want to go on this journey.
