Description

Set against the backdrop of a 31st-century galaxy, Nova explores the intricate balance of power and the lengths to which individuals will go to achieve their goals. Captain Lorq van Ray's crew is tasked with navigating treacherous space routes in search of Illyrion, the most precious energy source in the universe.

However, there is a personal motivation driving Lorq's mission: a secret obsession that puts his entire operation at risk. As he and his crew fly through the heart of an imploding star, they must confront the true nature of their quest and the dangers that lie ahead.

This gripping science fiction novel delves into themes of power, obsession, and the human condition, set against a richly detailed backdrop of space travel and intergalactic politics.
