Cass has stumbled on something that might be an entirely different type of physics, and she's travelled 350 light years to Mimosa Station, a remote experimental facility, to test her theory. The novo-vacuum she creates is predicted to begin decaying the instant it's created, but even so short-lived a microscopic speck could shed more light on the origins of the universe. But instead of decaying, Cass' novo-vacuum is wildly successful and begins expanding, slowly but inexorably taking over the universe... SCHILD'S LADDER is a wild ride through the far future by one of the world's most respected and acclaimed writers.
