A mystery convention is going to take place on a ship that’s on its way to Station Eternity. Mallory’s agent signed her up to do the keynote speech. She’s trying to communicate better with the Sundry hivemind. When she finally sees her agent he informs her sales are down and her editor wants her to do a book tour and interviews on Earth.
This is the sequel to Chaos Terminal.
It’s about the relationship between humans and aliens who are new and aliens who are stubborn, as well as sentient stations and ships both young and old.
The story intersects with fan fiction in an interesting way at the end.
