The very very good future: The Galaxy is a drifting wreck of black holes, neutron personalities, chill white dwarfs. The age of star development is long history. Yet there exists life here, nourishing off the energies of the stellar remnants, and there is head, a significant Galaxy-spanning cleverness each of whose thoughts continues a hundred thousand years. Which mind cradles memory of any long-gone age whenever a more compact world was filled with light... The 27th hundred years: Proxima Centauri, an undistinguished red dwarf legend, is the nearest legend to our sunshine - and (in this fiction), the nearest to host a world, Proxima IV, habitable by humans. But Proxima IV is unlike Earth in lots of ways. Huddling near to the warmth, orbiting in weeks, it maintains one face to its parent or guardian star all the time. The 'substellar point', with the legend forever overhead, is a blasted desert, and the 'antistellar point' on the very good part is under an ice cover in perpetual darkness. How would it be to go on such a world? Yuri Jones, with 1,000 others, is about to find out... Proxima instructs the amazing story of how exactly we colonise a severe new eden, and the secret we find there that changes our role in the Universe for ever.
