Luz

Three tormented lives bound by a radiant mystery. Seria Mau Genlicher, captain of the White Cat, serves the Nastics in their war against humanity, until the discovery of an alien artifact leads her to decide to abandon the conflict. Or at least try to, since her employers don't seem to agree. Meanwhile, Ed Chianese, a former elite pilot, has his vegetative existence inside a virtual reality tank in New Venusport interrupted when the Cray sisters, queens of the local mafia, hunt him down, dead or alive. And they're not the only ones. In 1999, Michael Kearney, the physicist who will be remembered as the father of interstellar travel, is haunted by a sinister presence, possibly of extraterrestrial origin, that has tormented him since childhood. The answer to all the mysteries lies in the Kefahuchi Canal, a stark singularity whose light has attracted all intelligent species in the galaxy over millions of years.
