Description

A Brand New in the Hugo, Nebula, and John Watts. Campbell award winning writer of Marsbound. Carmen Dula and her partner have spent six years going to a distant solar system that's home to the enigmatic, effective competition referred to as "Others," in the hopes of discovering enough common objective between their variety to create a fragile truce. By the full time Carmen and her celebration reunite, fifty years have been eaten by relativity-and the Earthlings haven't been lazy, creating a huge flotilla of warships to protect Earth from The Others.
