Every time Starship’s Captain Shetland returns to his own planet on infrequent shore leave, he feels increasingly ghost-like: out of place in, and uncertain of, his energy-starved society. Earth has now become a morass of compulsory sex and forced inbreeding, producing a society where casting a shadow and eating meat are viewed as felonies and where spacers are hated for wasting resources. Indeed, Shetlands life is now dedicated to finding new energy sources for Earth - a search which takes him into deepest space, and deepest time.

For Shetland is made Commander of an experimental spaceship designed to probe the unknown void beyond the end of the Universe. And what he and his crew find ...ghosts.
