A sci-fi novel about sensationalism, insanity and conspiracy. Follow celebrity Traver Graff into space, and perhaps back again. Traver Graff is the preeminent social commentator of the 22nd century and a staunch opponent of space travel. Unexpectedly, he finds himself swept along on a journey into the far reaches of space, for what he assumes to be a publicity stunt concocted by the powerful and clandestine Aurora Corporation. But Traver has demons of his own. As the ship nears its mysterious destination, he becomes increasingly conflicted between commitment to his cause and awe at his new surroundings. When disaster strikes, it is left up to his faithful assistant Lance, the ship’s indomitable Captain Louisa Fletcher, and an intrepid reporter named Callie on earth to unravel the mysteries of the Aurora Corporation, the strange planet AMA-712, and Traver himself.
