This trip could be the end.
Because nobody knew what a newly created reality meant in terms of physics and chemistry... nobody but that alien parasitic mentality and it knew one thing that it could not survive that kind of flight.
Yet the existence of the HOODED SWAN might depend on exactly such a survival.

In a galactic culture that extends from quasi-Utopian worlds like New Alexandria and New Rome to vermin-infested slums like Old Earth, the Star-Pilots of the starships that link the cosmos together are the great heroes of the day. Grainger, who has become a legend in his own lifetime, is drafted to fly the prototype (the Hooded Swan) of a new ship that could revolutionize space travel.
Having finally escaped from his contract with Titus Charlot, Grainger finds that freedom is not as easy or rewarding as he'd hoped.The Caradoc Company is anxious to take him back into its employ in order to pick his brains—by any means necessary—to extract everything that he knows about his former employer. But Charlot has other plans, and Grainger suddenly finds himself back on the Hooded Swan, leading an expedition into the bizarre Nightingale Nebula to rescue the Swan's sister ship. But this last voyage proves far costlier than the previous ones, as Grainger risks not only his neck—but his very soul!
The stunning conclusion to the Hooded Swan Series.
