Many centuries ago, the last few of mankind on the planet Earth got on the Exodus Fleet. They were in search of a new home for them within the stars. After hundreds of years of wandering in space, all of their descendants were ultimately accepted by the well-organized species. Those species were the ones who governed the Milky Way.
But, all that was very long ago. The Exodus Fleet today was a living relic. It was the birthplace of many species, yet only a few outsiders have only visited that place. But, it was a place that had a lot to be explored. The Exodus was left to think about their futures and lives. The series won the Hugo Award and this novel had a great part to play in that success. It is so beautifully written with some exceptionally well-developed characters.
