For fans of epic science fiction by masters like David Brin, Peter F. Hamiltion, Ian Banks, Larry Niven, and Frank Herbert.

Captain Malick and the crew of the Pioneer are on a mission of exploration to the farthest reaches of the solar system. As they near the uncharted planet Sworld, they receive an unexpected distress call. Compelled to investigate, Malick and the crew find a derelict ship with a cargo of five aliens in stasis, and instructions to bring them aboard. When their orbit deteriorates, they are marooned on the planet below with their new passengers.

Determined to find a way home, Malick and the crew embark on an epic journey across Sworld. They discover a wondrous world full of new lifeforms and sentient species, but also dark mysteries and peril. As Malick's behavior becomes increasingly erratic, the crew begins to question his motivations. They know little about him and his past is shrouded in secrets.

Now, plunged into an expedition through this bizarre and hostile alien planet, the crew will learn there is more to Malick than they ever imagined.
