Hes discovered an anomalous star that appears to defy the laws of physics, and proposes the creation of a deep-space mission to find out whether the star is a weird natural phenomenon, or something manufactured. The journey will take eons. In order to maintain the genetic talent of the original crew, humankinds greatest ambitionto explore the furthest reaches of the galaxy is undertaken by clones. But a clone is not a perfect copy, and each new generation has its own quirks, desires, and neuroses. As the centuries fly by, the society living aboard the nine ships (designated Convoy Seven) changes and evolves, but their mission remains the same: to reach Reggies mysterious star and explore its originsand implications. A mosaic novel of discovery, Noumenonin a series of vignettesexamines the dedication, adventure, growth, and fear of having your entire world consist of nine ships in the vacuum of space.
