But now the ageing starship is preparing to brake, for it is arriving at Destination Star: Tau Ceti, the new home for the space-born descendants of the First Crew.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor trainee engineer Ravinder MacLeod, the world he knows is coming to an end. Once \u003ci\u003eArchimedes\u003c\/i\u003e succumbs to the gravitational pull of the Destination Star and its (hopefully) habitable planet, there will be no going back - or anywhere else. As Braking Day approaches, Ravi finds himself caught between the rigid requirements of the officer class to which he aspires and his blue-collar, ne'er-do-well family.

Their search for answers takes them to the jagged place where the ship's future intersects with its long past. For not everyone is excited to be reaching journey's end, and the ghosts of the First Crew may not have been fully laid to rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 576g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 165 x 245 x 35 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781529417111\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adam Oyebanji","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44097485668602,"sku":"9781529417111","price":16.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1649417136599_book.jpg?v=1649437805","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/braking-day-9781529417111","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
