The Canadian government has invited budding zoologist Kate de Vries on the first trip into outer space, and there's a place for her boyfriend, airship pilot Matt Cruse, too, if he manages to pass the grueling series of tests required to become an astralnaut. Will Matt be able to compete with the world's best and brightest? Can Kate convince the scientific community that all her discoveries are real? And what will happen when the Starclimber's mission is targeted by saboteurs?
