About this ebook
“[A] breathtaking sequel. . . . Sci-fi action and adventure held together by universally human themes; this is the genre at its very best.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Generations ago, Convoy Seven and I.C.C. left Earth on a mission that would take them far beyond the solar system. Launched by the Planet United Consortium, a global group formed to pursue cooperative Earth-wide interests in deep space, nine ships headed into the unknown to explore a distant star called LQ Pyx.
Eons later, the convoy has returned to LQ Pyx to begin work on the Web, the alien megastructure that covers the star. Is it a Dyson Sphere, designed to power a civilization as everyone believes—or something far more sinister?
Meanwhile, Planet United’s littlest convoy, long thought to be lost, reemerges in a different sector of deep space. What they discover holds the answers to unlocking the Web’s greater purpose.
Each convoy possesses a piece of the Web’s puzzle . . . but they may not be able to bring those pieces together and uncover the structure’s true nature before it’s too late.
“Ambitious and effective. . . . Lostetter remains at the forefront of innovation in hard science fiction.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Lostetter delivers another feast for fans of hard science fiction.” —Booklist

Love the first book, but I'm honestly finding the second book an absolute chore to read, I'm skipping whole paragraphs to avoid the nauseating writing style shes appeared to pick up from nowhere, it's really quite strange. It reads like a school grader that had a word quota to fill. I'm sorry, loved your first book, but I'm honestly going to stop reading this, I had Hoped when she finally started writing about convoy 7 it would pick up, but no, got even worse :(
