Penumbra
Author: Eric Brown
 
The 22nd Century. The massive starliners that depart from the orbital transit terminals have taken humankind to hundreds of colony planets. But for Bennett, jaded tug pilot, a life beyond Earth is just a dream. Until the Mackendrick Foundation hires him to pilot a lightship to the Rim world of Penumbra - and a fateful meeting with a myssterious alien race.
On the teeming streets of Calcutta police Lieutenant Rana Rao has no time to consider the stars. She has just been promoted from working with the street-children to the Homicide division . . . and into the path of a serial killer.
For wherever man goes, he takes darkness . . .
