Interstellar Vehicle Archimedes has been hurtling through space for more than five generations. But now the aging starship is preparing to brake, for it is arriving at Destination Star: Tau Ceti. For trainee engineer Ravinder MacLeod, the world he knows is coming to an end. Once Archimedes succumbs to the pull of the Destination Star and its (hopefully) habitable planet, there will be no going back. As Braking Day approaches, Ravi finds himself caught between the requirements of the officer class to which he aspires and his blue-collar, ne'er-do-well family. Unfortunately for Ravi, Boz, his ex-con cousin, seems determined to make his life difficult - not least by her experiments with forbidden technology. Then Ravi is assigned to routine maintenance deep in the massive engines of the Archimedes, where, alone and out of contact, he comes face to face with something impossible - mind-breakingly impossible.
