Ian and Mabel are struggling to figure out their place on the Colony Ship Zubalamo. They have escaped some threats, and they think they have found a safe hiding place. Two former members of the ship’s flight crew have befriended them, giving up all links to their previous positions, but that has caused all four of them to be outside of the typical patterns of living on the colony ship. They are unwelcome on the engineering section, or in any of the eight enormous biomes.

Their hiding place is deep inside the vast ship, but they share it with alien beings who are extremely unusual and mysterious. Those beings move around like ghosts, throughout the various biological habitats and mechanical sections of the enormous colony ship, and even more troubling, they often just disappear.

Can they be trusted?
Then, Ian and Mabel’s artificial intelligence system, Nikki, uncovers something truly extraordinary. It will alter the course of all that is happening, but can the information be trusted? Is it legitimate, or some scheme from the murderous captain of the ship? Or does it really originate with people who have died?

Can it be that ghosts are actually haunting the depths of space, and if so, what is their agenda?

Book three of the Colony Ship Zubalamo series.
