Veejay Seo has a death wish. When every high-risk high-adrenaline sport has left him unscathed he turns to spacediving: exo-atmospheric skydiving, competition jumping from partway up the world's first space elevator. So when he survives yet another near-fatal accident, escaping with his life in ways no one can explain, he finds out the real reason for his inability to die - a quirk of reality where the laws of physics conspire to see him survive, time after time. And what is more, he is not alone. But to Veejay the gift of immortality is a curse. Raging against his inability to achieve the only thing he ever really wanted, he tries his most dangerous stunt yet: a space jump so dangerous that no one has even attempted it. And his reward for pushing back against the forces keeping him alive: a glimpse of what really lies on the other side, the true nature of reality, and the world-shaping destiny that lies with him.
