The Tangled Stars
Edward Willett
This new novel from an Aurora Award-winning author presents a sci-fi caper of high-stakes interstellar travel.
More
than a century ago, the network of MASTTs, the space-time tunnels that
made interstellar travel possible, violently collapsed, the backlash
destroying a lot of the solar system’s space-based infrastructure.
Cooper “Coop” Douglas, a thief and conman, is in serious debt to
outer-system crime-lord Eric Galioto. While trying to salvage a valuable
chunk of a space station destroyed by the backlash, Coop makes a
startling discovery: MASTT Primus, the tunnel that used to lead to New
Earth, is open again. That raises an intriguing possibility: Coop could
flee the solar system and his debt to Galioto and make a new life—and
possibly fortune—around another star.
Accompanied by his first
mate, the wisecracking, AI-uplifted, genetically modified cat Thibauld,
Coop sets out to “liberate” the solar system’s only remaining
functioning starship from an Earthside museum, enlisting the help of
Laysa Grey, a former-lover-turned-cop on Luna. Along the way, he is
pursued by Galioto and dogged by law enforcement and thugs.
And beyond MASTT Primus, the tangled stars await . . .
