Engineer Calwin is assigned to the Lighthouse In Space against his choice. There was no other replacement. The previous Engineer's sudden and mysterious death left no other choice.

But Calwin already wants to embrace death, unable to cope up with the loss of his wife. The mysterious woman on the Lighthouse, however, does not want him to die.

The mysterious woman Calwin can see only in his dreams.

Very soon, his grasp on reality is shattered when he realizes that he's caught between two intelligences far greater than him. Two intelligences that both want to control him.

I didn't expect this to be a prequel to what seems to be a larger series. I'd thought and hoped this was a single, stand alone novel. The writing meandered. The science left utterly explained. The twist at the end was just too over the top. It was a readable story but it meandered and just didn't have that hard sci-fi feel it was trying for. Not great but not horrible. To be honest I probably won't read any further in this series.

Intense!

The only human being for light years out in the loneliness of space. A sentient AI created by humans. The Other Intelligence left behind by an alien race far more superior than our own. Who is friend? Who is foe? How much of what happens on the Lighthouse is real and how much of it is paranoia?

Great short story about solitude in space. Quick read and I'd recommend it to others.
