Runaway
Two humans and a robot roam the universe in search of castaways. The Majestic Draght, a spaceship built by aliens and controlled by an AI, transports them from system to system at one-fifth the speed of light. But then the ship suddenly - and seemingly unstoppably - accelerates. Has the AI lost control of the propulsion system? Or is the AI pursuing its own plans?
The Draght’s new course targets a planet that would not have been the destination of the human-alien crew for a long Earth.

Can the Draught be diverted and can Eve be safe?
Something has wrestled control of the dark matter drive of the Draught from the Omniscience. Marchenko and the Omniscience try and find out what has changed their destination and won't allow it to be changed.
Meanwhile Eve is in a ship that is too low on fuel to effectively land on the planet of Sirius A b. Fortunately, the former LEM of another Messenger mission is orbiting the planet...
Marchenko's investigations reveal that something on the planet is vital to understanding the problem with the dark matter drive, making it more important to get to Eve, who is rapidly being left behind by the Draught.Adam sets out to try and reach Eve...
Another entertaining take in the Proximal logfiles saga.

I'm ready for the story to end
This has been Int Of my favorite series from Morris, but I'm ready for it to end. My complaint from the first book has returned, as even the robots are now Neurotic and whiney. Could we get some Characters with a little bit of character?
This book was more about describing dust than developing a story until the last few chapters, and by then i only wanted it to be over.
Looking forward to Adam and Eve making it home, and we all know they will since every Character in the series is invincible or has more lives than my last three cats combined.

Great story
Gret story line.Good to see the characters grow and work as a team even with the Grosnops. Merchancho is a valued member in any story.
