Publisher's Synopsis
The terraforming vessel Ganges has been performing its Holy Mission for octennia. Here is a collection of stories about the mysteries and crew from the long Age of Unity that emerged after The Awakening. Unsung heroes, hidden dangers and the origins of events that shaped the Crucible Spirals. Including two novellas, six short stories and the Strifer Manifesto, this collection of tales starts in the early spirals of the Age of Unity, with Kendis Higashi, and ends with a story about Peter Chanaco, just before the Crucible Spirals begin. Between them, the origins of the Rattlers are explored, pre-Launch mysteries are discovered and the lives of certain crew are revealed.
