โฆ Synopsis
In an alien universe where space and time play by different rules, interstellar voyages last longer for the travellers than for those they left behind.

But not every traveller feels allegiance to a world they have never seen, and as tensions mount over the risks of turning the ship around and starting the long voyage home, a new complication arises: the prospect of constructing a messaging system that will give the Peerless news of its own future.
