A Veiled and Distant Sky
When Luta Paixon and the crew of the Tane Ikai discover a dying wormhole explorer who’s been missing for decades, it’s a mystery; but the bigger mystery lies in her only words: “Save Lillifleur.” Because the colony ship Lillifleur disappeared without a trace almost a century ago.
Meanwhile, a different mystery lies closer to home; Luta’s son Karro and his wife want no part of the life-extending nanobioscavengers that have kept Luta safe from harm and aging for over fifty years. Confused, worried for their future, and even a little angry, Luta struggles to understand why anyone would reject the gift of near-immortality, even as the debate over nanobioscavenger technology rages throughout Nearspace.
Stranded in an unknown system with Karro and Aliande aboard, Luta faces potentially dangerous drones, a mysterious virus, and a looming alien threat to a forgotten colony. She’ll have to contend with all of this and more before she can unravel secrets from her family’s past, and hope for a little luck to get everyone home to Nearspace safe and sound.

Great Book
When I pre-ordered this book I reread the first three as it had been some time since the last one. Even though each book is a standalone, it was great to get reacquainted with the characters. The world building is incredible and I felt like the characters were old friends on a new adventure. Hope there is another book.

Best of the series so far
The latest edition of the nearspace saga gives us good old space exploration without the space battles that seemed to be the rage. I enjoy military sci-fi, but there are not enough books about why we would go to the stars and the ordinary people who would live, work and die there.

The 4th installment in the Nearspace series is just as fantastic as the other three. Sherry has a way of weaving a story that grabs you and holds your attention. I now am currently suffering from "Series Depression". I eagerly await the next installment!
