This book is 100% completeLast updated on 2025-10-14
Thanks to the invention of Antimatter Pulsar Engines people can reach near-lightspeed travel. With this technology a new kind of Taxi service emerges as well: making use of time dilation, people can spend no more than a couple of weeks in deep-sleep traveling through space, and arrive back on Earth decades later.
Doctor Jonathan Russel is looking for a Taxi, not to skip time, but to reach a very specific location in deep space.
