Eternity's End
A Novel of the Star Rigger Universe

Starship Lost in Eternity!
Ghost ship Impris, lost during the War of a Thousand Suns, is the stuff of legend. Her very name conjures the perils of interstellar travel. But no mere legend, she is real—glimpsed at times in the hyperdimensional Flux, and then gone. Her passengers and crew live on in a strange limbo, their fate hopelessly caught up in quantum defects in space-time, interstellar piracy, and galactic coverup.
To the pirates of Golen Space, she is a perfect lure, drawing passing ships to their doom. Many innocent star riggers have been captured in such raids and forced to pilot for the murderous pirates. One such rigger, Renwald Legroeder, makes a daring escape and flees to the presumed safety of the Centrist Worlds. But instead of finding asylum, he is framed for treason.
Something is terribly wrong in the Guild of Riggers. To clear his name—and to avert a disastrous war between worlds—he must escape a second time, partner with the amphibious Narseil to return to the Deep Flux and search for Impris. Legroeder's journey takes him into the heart of raider territory, where he encounters a bewildering array of motives, conspiracies, and even deep-cyber romance. Forging friendships and finding love in the unlikeliest of places, Legroeder must put his life on the line to protect the innocent, and preserve a shaky interstellar peace.
