When the first interstellar mission to Barnard's Star returns to Earth, only one man, Ballantyne, is left alive—and he is dying of a mysterious radiation that has altered his very body chemistry. The expedition was funded by the powerful Cochrane family, who hold a monopoly on space travel and are determined to keep the truth of the mission's failure a secret. Arch Comyn, a determined protagonist driven by the disappearance of his friend Paul Rodgers on that same flight, infiltrates the Cochranes' inner circle to uncover what really happened. He discovers that something elusive and beyond human comprehension exists out there—a 'perpetual bait' and a 'perpetual trap.' To find the truth and rescue his friend, Comyn must join the second fated mission into the unknown, venturing beyond the veil of the Transuranae to face a horrifying secret that awaits mankind among the stars.
