Aprašymas

The victims of Mars demand consequences.

The crew of the Theseus have been captured.

Except one.

Two years after the disaster on Mars, Curtis is still free - if the life she has built can be called freedom.

Without a family. Without a home. Moving from ship to ship beneath false names, she survives on the fringes of civilisation, never staying anywhere long enough to be remembered.

Because if she stops running, he will find her.

He always does.

Curtis has spent years trying to bury what happened aboard the Theseus, carrying secrets that powerful people would kill to recover and memories she would rather forget.

Then something reaches her in a dream.

Find. Us.

The message should be impossible.

Instead, it offers the first real hope she has had since Mars.

Following it means travelling further from the safety of the established lanes and closer to the Veil - a vast, ancient region of space her people have spent generations warning one another to avoid.

The deeper she travels, the less certain she becomes that the Veil is merely a place.

But Curtis is running out of places left to run, and the deeper she ventures, the harder it becomes to tell whether she is following the message...

...or whether something has been leading her towards it all along.

Echoes from the Veil is the second novel in The Veil Continuum, a dark science-fiction universe of deep-space mystery, isolation and cosmic horror.
