Kirkus Reviews: "...pure exhilaration.  The authors’ prose is, like the book overall, intelligent and comprehensive, especially with chic terminology like 'gravity wake,' a field created by accelerated particles, the essence of traversing space-time.

When the young daughter of Josh Scribner, a wealthy tech entrepreneur, starts to succumb to the illness, he dedicates his fortune in a desperate effort to save her life.
