Simon Sandrisson, darkly enigmatic power engineer Marc C. With all artificial intelligences inert and their reactor dead, they had to find some other source of power to reactivate the Sandrisson Drive and - hopefully - take them home.Īnd that was only the beginning. But when the Sandrisson Drive activated, every automated system crashed, the nuclear reactor itself shut down, and only the reflexes and training of a racing pilot saved the test vessel Holy Grail from crashing into the impossible wall that had appeared before them, a wall which is just part of a monstrous enclosure surrounding a space twenty thousand kilometers across. It was supposed to be a simple test flight, one that pilot Ariane Austin was on only as a last-ditch backup intelligent, superhumanly fast automation would handle the test activation and flight of humanity's first faster-than-light vessel.
