Journey to the ends of space. They had built a ship called the Southern Cross and had launched her to Alpha Crucis. Centuries passed, and still the ship traveled on in her headlong journey toward the distant star. After ten generations the Southern Cross was the farthest thing from earth any work of the human mind - but she was still not halfway to her goal. Four made up the crew when the accident happened: the wealthy and rational physicist Terangi Maclaren; the patient pilot Nakamura; Dave Ryerson, the timid son of a space wanderer; and the rebellious colonist, engineer Chang Sverdlov. The ship was farther from Earth than any human had ever dared to go, and the lives of the four depended on a slim chance of effective repairs in space. Soon it would become clear that all four could not expect salvation... This is an engaging and thrilling story of a distant future, about a man and a woman who participated in one of humanity's most exciting adventures.
