“Darn it!” he said. “Of course I owe it to you three fellows to give you all the dope, but I certainly hate to drag my affairs in. Still, after all our planning I can‟t leave you without an explanation. You know I live in Denver with my mother and two sisters. Boys, I‟ve got the finest mother, and the sweetest kid sisters. Mother works. She never gets a vacation; couldn‟t even come to my Commencement. Gosh! It made me sick. And my older sister (she‟s sixteen) has heard me tell all about you fellows, and she was so crazy to see you, and the school, and everything. But they couldn‟t make it. Too much car fare.” “Why, you big stiff!” cried the tall boy angrily. “Why didn‟t you say something? Mother and father came right through Denver. All your folks could have come on with them in the car.”

An explorer-tug captain, Alex Racine spends years in space, harvesting ice asteroids for New Terran's water-hungry outposts. His existence is both routine and solitary...until his ship's computer detects a damaged alien craft drifting into system. Recognizing a once in a lifetime opportunity to make first contact, Alex pulls off a daring maneuver to latch on to the derelict. When Alex boards the Reveur, he encounters the ship's AI. The entire craft is riddled with holes, damage that could only have come from a fight. While confronting the AI for answers, Alex is shocked to learn that eighteen survivors, trapped in stasis, are on board. Like the New Terrans, the Meridiens are human-both settlements originating from colony ships sent from a dying Earth-but oddly the Meridiens' technology is hundreds of years ahead, which makes their story all the more terrifying. The Reveur was attacked by an unknown craft, the first of its kind ever encountered. The mysterious silver ship made no contact before firing its beam weapon, and its attack was both instant and deadly. Intrigued by the Meridiens' story, and even more so by their leader, the exotic Renee de Guirnon, Alex decides to help them repair their ship and return home...but not without the means to protect themselves. For, he was haunted by one thought: where there was one, there might be many."
