â€œGripping. Impossible to put down.â€â€” Jack McDevitt

â€œLeave it to Edward M. Lerner to take a notion, run with it, squeeze every ramification out of it, and put it altogether in an irresistible page-turner. Dark Secret is a crackerjack novelâ€”hard science fiction at its best.â€â€” Robert J. Sawyer

When the experimental ship Clermont is urgently recalled from a long-range test flight, neither Dana McElwain nor Blake Westford, its captain and crew, imagines that they are about to embark on a much more urgent voyageâ€”or that this new mission will determine the fate of the human race.

A gamma-ray burstâ€”the deadly beam of radiation spawned seven thousand years earlier in the death throes of doomed neutron starsâ€”is about to wipe the Solar System clean of all life. Only the Clermontâ€™s prototype Dark Energy Drive might carry anyone, and any of humanityâ€™s legacy, to safety before that extinction.

And then what? Where beyond the Solar System is safe? What if the price of survival is to become less â€¦ human?

â€œDark Secret is a unique tale of catastrophe and survival on multiple levels, gripping and harrowing yet ultimately inspiring. Lerner shows what it might really be like to be forced from an out-of-control frying pan into a far worse fire, and how humanity might endure even if what the refugees bring with them is worse than what they find.â€â€” Stanley Schmidt
