In book 2 of the Starflight series, a wizened old man has returned from deep space, bearing a strange tale of the planet Faroul. This legendary world is said to be a place where time began and ends, and where a man may gain the power to create. But Faroul is much more, for it holds the fate of the cosmos. It's up to a starship deserter and a prostitute with a mysterious past to embark on a quest to find Faroul and unravel its mysteries.
