Intrepid atheist, explorer, pilot and commander of a deep space first contact ship, the Bhagavad. A man haunted by a past he cannot escape and driven by a curiosity that defies orders. When he rescues a fugitive king, he becomes the most wanted man in the galaxy — and discovers that the universe is far stranger than science alone can explain.

The Bhagavad awaits its heading, Captain. Where does the journey begin?

"The Bhagavad cut through the dark like a knife through silk. Xanqunnes had charted a course no navy would sanction, through unregistered space where even light seemed to hesitate. What he found at the end of that course would shatter everything he believed about the universe — and himself."
