Description
xThe Hugo Award-winning author returns to the Coyote Universe with this science fiction adventure about a disgraced pilot facing nature's deadliest force.
"The master of science fiction intrigue." --Washington Post
Dismissed from the Union Astronautica space fleet for conduct unbecoming, Jules Truffaut faces a bleak future as a grounded pilot on an Earth ruled by a social collectivist regime that denies individual freedoms. Hoping to start his life over on the colony world of Coyote, he emigrates through unorthodox channels, resulting in his immediate arrest.
Threatened with deportation, Jules has no choice but to accept an offer from billionaire Morgan Goldstein to transport him to Rho Coronae Borealis for a trade negotiation with the alien hjaad. But a cultural misunderstanding endangers overall relations between human and hjaad, forcing Goldstein to appease the aliens by undertaking a dangerous mission: one that requires Jules to fly across the galaxy to deliver a probe to a populated star system being destroyed by a black hole . . .
"This grand interstellar adventure exemplifies Hugo-winner Steel's skill with near-future tech . . . a rousing climax." --Publishers Weekly
"The closest thing the science fiction world now has to Robert A. Heinlein." --SFRevu

By Allen Steele
xBefore becoming a science fiction writer, Allen Steele was a journalist for newspapers and magazines in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Missouri, and his home state of Tennessee. But science fiction was his first love, so he eventually ditched journalism and began producing that which had made him decide to become a writer in the first place.
Since then, Steele has published eighteen novels and nearly one hundred short stories. His work has received numerous accolades, including three Hugo Awards, and has been translated worldwide, mainly into languages he can't read. He serves on the board of advisors for the Space Frontier Foundation and is a member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. He also belongs to Sigma, a group of science fiction writers who frequently serve as unpaid consultants on matters regarding technology and security.
Allen Steele is a lifelong space buff, and this interest has not only influenced his writing, it has taken him to some interesting places. He has witnessed numerous space shuttle launches from Kennedy Space Center and has flown NASA's shuttle cockpit simulator at the Johnson Space Center. In 2001, he testified before the US House of Representatives in hearings regarding the future of space exploration. He would like very much to go into orbit, and hopes that one day he'll be able to afford to do so.
Steele lives in western Massachusetts with his wife, Linda, and a continual procession of adopted dogs. He collects vintage science fiction books and magazines, spacecraft model kits, and dreams.
