Blurb: “Benjamin Allen Shore is in Command of Earth's first starship. But it is an empty command: the President of the United States has grounded the pulse ship indefinitely.
Shore knows there are planets suitable for human habitation, and he knows his ship can find them. With carefully forged orders and an untried crew he embarks on an awesome journey-to the heart of the galaxy.
What he finds there is more than he ever hoped for...the stars have worlds and the worlds have people.
And there is no way he can be prepared for the menace of the Golden People-an ancient people who have driven all other races from the Galactic Center-or for what awaits him if he ever returns to Earth.”
