"There's lots of space out there. Those stars may be as big as this ship," said Joe.

Imagine a group of human beings to whom the only world they know is a gigantic spaceship - so large and so ingeniously constructed that it has supported thousands of people for centuries. Yet they live subject to all the old emotions - victims of conflict and suspense arising from rebellion and killings in their midst.
