Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - >In the shadow of Neptune, humanity opens the first fragile door to the stars. Dr. Elias Kwan's revolutionary resonance corridor theory promises a narrow, delicate path between systems - a natural gravitational highway that allows transit in days without violating relativity. But these corridors are not highways. They are ancient, shifting, and unforgiving: overuse risks collapse, and every transit leaves a mark on the delicate fabric of higher-dimensional space. When the UN Interstellar Access Commission approves the maiden voyage of the starship Dauntless, Commander Joshua Jones leads a hand-picked crew into the unknown. What they discover at the far end of Corridor 1A is no empty system but a vast, living node - a braided lattice of habitats, docks, and rails where multiple alien civilizations have coexisted for centuries under fragile treaties and wary oversight. Bound by protocols they barely understand, the crew must navigate alien politics, moral compromises, and the terrifying realization that their mere presence strains an already stressed network. As rail failures echo across distant nodes and factions debate whether humans are guests, tools, or threats, Dauntless becomes both lifeline and liability. With alliances fracturing and silent watchers moving in the dark, Joshua and his team face an impossible choice: remain prisoners of a binding they never fully accepted, or risk everything to break free - knowing that escape may tear the very corridors that connect the galaxy. A gripping, character-driven hard sci-fi thriller about first contact, fragile cooperation, and the cost of survival in a universe where every door swings both ways. Perfect for fans of The Expanse, Blindsight, and Annihilation. Some doors should never be opened.Some doors, once opened, can never be closed.…
