Czerneda has earned a reputation in science fiction circles for her ability to create beautifully crafted, imaginative, yet believably realized alien races. Suddenly, it appears that Earth itself might be under attack by the legendary race the Dhryn call the Ro, the beings who may be the destructive force behind the Chasm.Ĭut off from everything and everyone she knows, Mac finds herself in grave danger and charged with the responsibility of learning everything she can that might possibly aid Earth in protecting the human race from extinction…. However, that decision is taken out of her hands when a mysterious and devastating attack on the Facility results in the abduction of her fellow researcher Emily Mamani, and forces Mac to flee for her life with Brymn and the special agents who are escorting him. Mac has little interest in alien races and in studies that range beyond Earth and as politely as she can she makes it clear that she is unwilling to abandon her work. Brymn is an archaeologist, focused on a region of space known as the Chasm, a part of the universe that is literally dead, all of its worlds empty of any life-forms. When her research is interrupted by the unprecedented arrival of Brymn, the first member of the alien race known as the Dhryn to ever set foot on Earth, things get out of hand.

Mackenzie Conner is a trained biologist whose work has become her life.

Senior co-administrator of the Norcoast Salmon Research Facility, Dr. Biologist Mackenzie Conner is all that stands between the Ro and the extinction of the human race.
