About the Book
The battle at the
galactic center had been a great victory for the Federation and the
Alliance. But it had tremendous costs. The Battleship Avenger and her
fleets had vanished being drawn into a great white vortex at the moment
of victory. For over four years, the mystery of what had happened to the Avenger had haunted the Federation.
The last two survivors of
the Special Five have built a powerful exploration cruiser to go off in
search of the lost fleets. They are convinced that the fleets have
survived and are trapped in another galaxy. What they find in their
search will be a threat to the Federation far greater than the AIs and
the Hocklyns had ever been. The fate of thousands of worlds will depend
on the Distant Horizon finding those that were lost and stopping this
new and dangerous menace.
