In the year 2145 AD, Malcolm Orion, destined to go down in history as the Brave Traveler, made his historic jump through space, launching his consciousness across the universe. His arrival at an abandoned space station reawakened the Masson Zero—a vast system of instantaneous travelways connecting innumerable worlds, many inhabited by sentient life.

Now, centuries later, worlds long isolated from each other are once again connected. This anthology presents tales of this reconvergence. Set on richly imagined planets scattered across the cosmos but linked once again by near-instantaneous travel, these stories introduce you to characters—human and otherwise—navigating love and loss, alliance and intrigue, violence and betrayal, and, most of all, the joys and perils of exploration and scientific discovery. Accept the invitation. Step into a transpod of your own and slip through the Mass-O. You never know where you’ll end up.

"An expansive SF anthology featuring stories and poems that will leave readers excited for the larger project."

-Kirkus Reviews

"Filled with thrilling adventures, complex characters, and imaginative worlds. Sure to leave you on the edge of your seat."

-Dave Jones, Game Designer of Grand Theft Auto, Lemmings, and Crackdown
