Starflake

by Doug L. Hoffman

Capt. Billy Ray Vincent and the crew of the Peggy Sue are off to the Pleiades in search of the ancient and mysterious T'aafhal. Along the way, they discover something unexpected, a million-year-old space station in an empty star system—the Starflake. The station gives up its secrets grudgingly and soon the explorers are in a fight for their lives.
