Description

Gefty Rammer, owner of Rammer Spacelines, is hired for a seemingly routine charter aboard the sleek cruiser Silver Queen. The client, a pale‑faced Mr. Maulbow, proves to be far more unsettling than any ordinary passenger, and the ship is suddenly jolted into an unfamiliar, pitch‑black medium that defies normal navigation.

As the Queen steadies, Gefty and Kerim Ruse, the young secretary, scramble to understand the strange vacuum outside the hull—flashes of color, a distant, blinding flash that races toward them, and a compass that spins wildly. With the ship intact but adrift in an unknown realm, they must keep their lone, unconscious passenger alive while seeking a way back to norm‑space, all before the mysterious forces surrounding them grow any more hostile.
