Publisher's Synopsis

See below for English description.

Matt Cruse, futur pilote, est invité à bord du Starclimber en compagnie de la femme qu'il aime, Kate de Vries, experte en faune et flore de haute altitude. Le Starclimber est un vaisseau qui gravit littéralement l'atmosphère jusqu'au cosmos. Matt compte secrètement demander Kate en mariage, mais avant même qu'ils aient embarqué, elle lui annonce ses fiançailles avec un autre.

Malgré cette terrible nouvelle et la peine de Matt, ils entament leur voyage dans l'espace. Soudain, le vaisseau est assailli de créatures étranges et dérangeantes, et l'équipe doit faire face à un grave problème mécanique. Pour Matt, Kate, et tous les membres du Starclimber, cette fantastique course aux étoiles s'est transformée en lutte pour leur survie.

Pilot-in-training Matt Cruse and his love interest, Kate de Vries, an expert on high-altitude life-forms, are invited aboard the Starclimber, a vessel that literally climbs its way into the cosmos. Matt secretly plans on asking Kate to marry him, but before they even set foot aboard the ship, Kate announces her engagement -- to someone else.

Despite this bombshell, and Matt's anguish, they embark on their journey into space, but soon the ship is surrounded by strange and unsettling life-forms, and the crew is forced to combat devastating mechanical failure. For Matt, Kate, and the entire crew of the Starclimber, what began as an exciting race to the stars has now turned into a battle to save their lives.
