Biron Farrill wakes up in his dorm room in the University of Earth to discover a radiation bomb. He then has to quickly escape and figure out who the assassin is.
The title is taken from a (fictional, to my best knowledge) poem:
"The stars, like dust, encircle me
In living mists of light;
And all of space I seem to see
In one vast burst of sight."- Images:
