Angelmass

In this gripping space adventure from #1 New York Times bestselling author Timothy Zahn, the mysterious black hole Angelmass emits particles that can induce calmness and honesty in humans, a phenomenon that both fascinates and terrifies. As the Earth-based Pax empire views these emissions as a potential threat, academic Jereko Kosta is coerced into spying on the Empyrean colonies that rely on the "angels." As he embarks on a perilous mission aboard a ship hunting these particles, Kosta uncovers unsettling truths that could avert an impending war between human factions.
