Science FictionSynopsis
In the Second Starfaring Age, Captain Genro commands the pleasure vessel Dragon Zephyr, carrying ten thousand passengers across the stars via a drive that symbiotically links with a living woman — the Void Pilot — who experiences quasi-religious ecstasy during each jump. When Genro becomes obsessed with his pilot, their dangerous liaison threatens to shatter the boundaries between desire and transcendence.
