Exploration, science and galactic intrigue

Set during a fragile truce, To Clear Away the Shadows follows the Far Traveller as it probes sponge space to chart trade routes and document alien life. The mission blends careful astrogation with onboard biological surveys and archaeological curiosity.

Newly posted officers—an aristocratic scientist and a reluctant naval lieutenant—face hazards both natural and political as regional powers maneuver for influence. The ship’s director of science pursues evidence of the Archaic Spacefarers, unlocking fragments of a distant past.

The novel balances fleet-era naval detail with classic space-opera scope: exploration, ethnobiology, ancient mysteries and the costs of power in a widening galaxy.
