This sequel to The Comet's Curse finds the all-teen crew of the Galahad, a ship sent to escape a deadly disease on Earth, encountering new threats. When health aberrations and mysterious messages appear from an outside source, the Council must puzzle out how to prevent the micro-society's destruction. Despite some lapses in logic, the high-stakes situations give readers plenty to mull over.
