Michael Poole finds himself in a very strange landscape . . And in a history without war with the humans, the Xeelee have had time to built an immense structure here. .This is the centre of the Galaxy.
It is a light year in circumference. The Xeelee Belt has a radius ten thousand times Earth's orbital distance. If it was set in the solar system it would be out in the Oort Cloud, among the comets - but circling the sun.
If it was at rest it would have a surface area equivalent to about thirty billion Earths. But it is not at rest: it rotates at near lightspeed. And because of relativistic effects, distances are compressed for inhabitants of the Belt, and time drastically slowed.The purpose of the Belt is to preserve a community of Xeelee into the very far future, when they will be able to tap dark energy, a universe-spanning antigravity field, for their own
