Review by D. Douglas Fratz aron Schoenfeld and Jack Lumet grew up together in the Bronx in the 1960s. Sixty years later, they are leading a crew of nine on humanity s first voyage to Alpha Centauri, on a ship with only enough fuel for a one-way trip.
Strange things begin to happen, and continue throughout the voyage.
One of the crew dies of unknown causes. Some of the crew mutiny, wanting to turn back. The doctor has a child, father unknown, which she names Noah. As they approach the system, a massive cloud of hydrogen and oxygen appears, combines to form water, then disappears. They pass the hulk of an abandoned ship.
