Strands (Maura's Gate Book 4)

Five years before Earth enters a deadly region in space, Devin sets off to find a solution. After tracing an invisible structure for two hundred light years, he gradually discovers an unknown side of space, and an unknown side of his own government. Just as always, mankind has nobody but themselves to count on. All he has are his faith, judgments, and help from a teenager and her grandfather, to alter the universe. (Word count: 12,000)

Note: Maura’s Gate is a series of loosely connected short stories, which revolve around the space adventures of NASA Astronaut, Devin Lee.
