Countless worlds exist in the solar system?all the way out into deep space, as is shown in this story by the author of the Moreau Society series.
The solar system?the collection of planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, and everything between orbiting the star called Sol?is more vast than those living on a single planet for their entire history can possibly imagine. Distances so great that light itself hours to reach the outer limits of the Sun's influence.
Out among the trans-Neptunian objects drifting in a cloud around the Sun, Lurn plots a solitary path for his ship, Isis. Accompanied only by the construct Dod, Lurn spends his golden years directing the harvest of water and resource-rich comets?sending the fruits of their labor down the gravity well to other worlds. Only their next target appears quite unusual...
