Product Description

Interstellar medic Melanie Mooney races against time to save her patients while unravelling cosmic mysteries and navigating the dangers of space, all while longing for the Earth she left behind.

Find a Way Home

Everything is relative. Einstein said so.

After years of criss-crossing the galaxy as an emergency medic, Melanie Mooney is learning this in a personal way. Each run to a far-flung star system takes Melanie ever farther from her former life, and the incomprehensible distances are the least of her problems.

The penalty for zipping through space at light speed means time is moving slower for her than it is back home. If Melanie ever hopes to return, she must do so before the Earth she knew becomes as unrecognisable as the alien worlds of the Galactic Union.

Interstellar travel is far beyond anything she can afford on Medical Corps pay, and finding a ride home that avoids the merciless effects of relativity is risky. Melanie will have to place her trust in unproven technology and some unsavoury characters, one of whom happens to be the last person in the galaxy she wants to be caught dead with.

The trick will be not getting hopelessly lost in dimensions of the universe where no human or alien belongs. That’s a lot for someone who just wants to get back home.
