Diving Universe 1B

The Room of Lost Souls

by Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Release: April/May 2008
Format: Novella
Genre: Science Fiction
Audience: Adults
Content: Time Phenomena
Original Language: English

This time around, “Boss” puts together a crew to dive into the central part of an age-old abandoned space station where many have entered but, apparently, only Boss (long ago, as a young girl) has ever returned. The universe is largely unchanged from the first Diving Universe story, replete with mysterious interdimensional ambiguities and timey-wimey goings-on, but still no actual time travel.

— Michael Main

The exterior parts of the station move in a slower time frame. The interior part, nearest the stealth tech itself, is moving at an accelerated pace.

DEBUT

“Diving into the Shipwreck,” in Asimov’s Science Fiction, April/May 2008.
