Cluster worlds are one of the great mysteries of space travel – planet-sized objects that have spontaneously fused together from the detritus, junk and flotsam left behind by both human and alien space travellers. The archaeologist who solves the mystery will become rich and famous overnight. | Cluster worlds are one of the great mysteries of space travel – planet-sized objects that have spontaneously fused together from the detritus, junk and flotsam left behind by both human and alien space travellers.

[[Bernice Summerfield|Professor Bernice Summerfield]] just wants to live. | |||
Bernice and her son [[Peter Summerfield|Peter]] are stranded on [[Absence]], a cluster object that has been settled by a cartel operating beyond human space. It's an artificial world where everything is at a premium and nothing comes without a price. For the wealthy few who can afford it there is the relative freedom of the world beyond the sterile cartel domes, but Bernice is almost penniless. | Bernice and her son [[Peter Summerfield|Peter]] are stranded on [[Absence]], a cluster object that has been settled by a cartel operating beyond human space.
