The Sun That Swallowed Tomorrow
A world without a sun holds an impossible store of futures.
The opening situation
At Sepulchra IV, absence becomes the opening puzzle. The travellers encounter Solumnar and a relationship between stellar life and unrealised possibility. This is a book to read in sequence: its emotional weight depends on the company formed in earlier adventures, and its consequences should be discovered in the prose.
Who travels here
The Doctor, Raven and MINO.
