In an alternate universe, or perhaps in a very distant, quirky, part of our universe, there are trails that connect some planets to other planets by a weird kind of hyperspace that can be followed by people and animals if they have the right equipment. But the equipment is not that complicated, it's surviving to figure it out that is difficult. So, once you have a few air tight carts, best connected together like a trolley train, with enough food, water, and air to last a few weeks (for the trips can be long), you can go to places, literally, like nowhere else in your world. But, those who have been out long enough, to enough other places, suspect there is another more direct way to cross space. And then came the rumor of such a ship, trapped on the edge of a trail, in a far distant part of trailways. Finding such a thing, what an adventure that would be!

Hendrik Rheinallt leads a dangerous caravan journey on the fabulous Blue Trail across the subspace "meadow" to reach what the travelers hope will be a usable or salvageable starship. The subspatial pseudosurface is more empty than Lunar vacuum, and more deadly. The Ship itself is something that even the visionary Rheinallt with his centuries of experience could not have predicted. The expeditionaries' goals are diverse, even secretly or violently at odds. Rheinallt and his aircat friend Arahant face a complex of challenges aboard the gas-lit caravan, in their exploration of absolute emptiness, and at the enigmatic Ship. Rheinallt's dream and goal, the elusive and the real, mingle and clash in this thoughtful interstellar adventure. "A drop of blood with a flame behind it, the Ship glinted on the horizon of the meadow." Revised Edition: 98,000 words. Major additions & extensive revisions align the novel more closely with other (projected) novels in the Overflight series. Many smaller improvements.
