about the book
The *Andersen-3* was meant to make the crossing in 217 years. It is now year 419. The cold-sleep schedule has failed. The astronomer who should have woken on arrival is dead, very neatly, in her chamber. The engineer who wakes first — Lia Hadar, third shift, never expected to see Tau Ceti — does the only sensible thing. She runs the math.
The math is wrong. Or, more precisely, the math is right and the star has changed. The story is about what Lia does in the next eleven days, what she does not tell the crew when she wakes them, and what arrives — slowly, on a frequency the ship was not built to receive — in the long light of the morning after she finally signals home.
“The future doesn’t flinch. Neither do the people who arrive in it.”
