When it's discovered that the entire Flow is moving, possibly separating all human worlds from one another forever, three individuals - a scientist, a starship captain, and the emperox of the Interdependency - must race against time to discover what, if anything, can be salvaged from an interstellar empire on the brink of collapse.
