Book excerpt: Two hundred years had passed since the disappearance of Daisy Weal, and the flagship of the Star Fleet, HMSS 'The Daisy Weal', named in memory of her, was heading towards the desolate planet of Cren to deliver an archaeological and survey team. When passing through a binary system, an accident happened, and a beam of energy from an unknown source penetrated the ship killing all passengers and crew instantly. The ship's semi-sentient bio-processor took evasive action, and escaping on emergency thrust, it inadvertently twisted space and performed an unintended, and previously thought impossible, hyper jump. As a result, it ended up completely lost, but finds that it has been programmed with an overpowering urge to find a way home. This is the story of that journey home and of the many civilisations that were encountered, of changes that were made, of friends that were met, and of the life that it was given.

Several attempts on Larry's life, when there is no discernible reason for them, drag him ever further into a web of lies and deceit. It seems to involve espionage, and is believed to be centred on the law firm of Parkes and Parkes, until links back to a former adversary are found.

Finally things come to a head, leaving Larry and his colleagues trapped by two people consumed with the desire to see them dead in the slowest and most painful way possible. Now, the only question that he has left to answer is whether or not this will actually be his 'time to die' after all.
