DEEP-SPACE CONFLICT
In one of her most compelling novels, bestselling author C. J. Cherryh returns to the dramatic universe of her classic novels Cyteen and Downbelow Station, and to the oldest, most historic of the interstellar Merchanter ships: the Neihart family's ...
With a truce declared between the major powers, war hero Captain James Robert Neihart returns to the Alliance station of Pell to reclaim one of the Merchanters' own. During the Company Wars, Finity's End had to leave a pregnant crew member on Pell and was unable to retrieve her orphaned son. Now the Nelharts want their lost cousin back- not least because the war has cost them a generation.
But young Fletcher Neihart has built his own life and the last thing he wants is to be dragged into space.
But he has no choice. As Finity's End flies towards conflict and danger, the hope for peace will depend on whether Merchanter honour can be upheld - and whether Fletcher, guided by a gift from his erstwhile alien friends, can learn to trust . . . and find his true: place in the universe.
