The year is 2255. The academy that trained the starfarers is long gone
and veteran star pilot Priscilla "Hutch" Hutchins spends her retirement
supporting fund-raising efforts for The Prometheus Foundation, a
privately funded organization devoted to deep space exploration.
But when a young physicist unveils an efficient star drive capable of
reaching the core of the galaxy, Hutch finds herself back in the deepest
reaches of space, and on the verge of discovering the origins of the
deadly Omega clouds that continue to haunt her.
