Kalin Taylor, now known as Kata, is trying to rebuild his life but it seems that some people have no intention of leaving him alone, starting with his parents.

Kurai tries to give Tau a hand but he too, albeit in a different way, must deal with his past.

Vasari Adrianne Demont of the planet Trandellia has her own agenda, and to get what she wants, she must capture a specific person on the planet Atthiras. She sends a group of holin, elite forces specialized in infiltration and assassination, to look for them. The holin are used to working alone or in small groups, without a hierarchy, so an operation conducted by a large group can create problems. Diran realizes that those problems can lead to clashes among the holin themselves, but the important thing is the success of the operation.

The novel “Perihelion Summer” by Greg Egan was published for the first time in 2019.

Matt Fleming and some of his friends have set up the Mandjet, a mobile aquaculture rig that is self-sufficient. They did it to be prepared for the worst-case scenario when Taraxippus, a black hole that is about to pass through the solar system, comes near the Earth.

Despite the risks of catastrophe on Earth following the passage of Taraxippus, Matt and his friends receive mostly indifferent reactions if not ridicule for the construction of the Mandjet. In the end, the black hole turns out to be a pair whose passage alters the Earth’s orbit in a subtle way but enough to alter the seasons. The possibility of sailing with the Mandjet to Antarctica when Australia is hot to the limit of livability makes it very useful.
