Synopsis

Christian Queghan is a myth technologist and a highly respected scientist on the planet known as Earth IVn. Like so many other worlds colonised generations ago, Earth IVn was created to be as much like Old Earth as possible, altho Old Earth itself is now the stuff of legend. A machine's been developed that will project a researcher into one of an infinite number of possible futures of Earth IVn, with only a 50% chance of return. Queghan is an ideal subject. He cannot resist the idea of going where none have gone before. Sailing across the oceans of Earth IVn, the crew of the ship Slave Trader encounters a mysterious castaway, whose translucent skin is branded with a Q. .
