The Returners

Time and Space. Forever fixed and immutable. Perhaps not. An experiment in 2263 funded by the massive Kim Corporation into the creation of a wormhole on board space station XP37 goes dramatically wrong and the space station is destroyed by an explosion. It then inexplicably reappears in 2316 in another part of space. Also in 2316 a tourist spaceship Cosmic Harmony is suddenly thrown off course by some unknown and unseen force. The pilot manages a crash-landing on a strange planet and the crew and passengers have every hope of being rescued. Then people start to disappear for no apparent reason including Kaila Yildirim the newly found love of Anstad Deeley a passenger on the spaceship. Anstad's quest to find Kaila leads him to a community which has been on the planet for many centuries and during that time has also experienced disappearances. Anstad has strange dreams in which people are trying to contact him. He gradually comes to realise that these are people who have also mysteriously disappeared. But where in time and space are they and is Kaila in the same place? How can he reach out to them?
