Every Belter has heard the story of the legendary starship<\/b> <b class=\"calibre2\">but  most  of  them  don&#8217;t  believe  it.  But  Rees,  a  lowly  mine-rat,<\/b> <b class=\"calibre2\">does.

Why fewer and fewer stars form every<\/b> <b class=\"calibre2\">day. In his quest to find answers, Rees travels from boyhood to<\/b> <b class=\"calibre2\">manhood, from the outermost edges of his world into its<\/b> <b class=\"calibre2\">mysterious heart.
