continue the thrilling adventure of a human expedition to another star system that is jeopardized
by an encounter with an astonishingly immense artifact in interstellar space: a bowl-
shaped structure cupping a star, with a habitable area equivalent to many millions of
Earths. And which, tantalizingly, is on a direct path heading toward the same system the
human ship is to colonize.
Investigating the Bowl, or Shipstar, the human explorers are separated - one group
captured by the gigantic structure's alien inhabitants, the other pursued across its
strange and dangerous landscape - while the mystery of the Shipstar's origins and
purpose propel the human voyagers toward discoveries that transform their understanding
of their place in the universe.
