The noise grew. Everywhere you looked Newcastle fans were on their feet, United, at last, in song. St James Park was rocking, a noise that carried down from the cathedral at the top of the hill, down through the city. It felt like a celebration. It wasnt.

Newcastle
- facing Tottenham Hotspur on the last day of the 2015/16 Premier League season
- had already been relegated. The fervent atmosphere was instead a final call of support for the manager, Rafa Benitez.

It was only his tenth game in charge
- not enough time for him to steer Newcastle clear of relegation
- yet the St James crowd were imploring him to stay. The Spaniard had fallen into the hearts of the people of Tyneside. Spurs
- second in the league before kick-off
- were beaten 5-1. A club was stirring back to life.

Product Description

Accidentally crossing through a hole in space-time, a spaceship from Earth enters a universe where the force of gravity is one billion times as strong as the gravity we know.

Divided into two main groups, the decadents of the original crew still struggle for existence as five hundred years go by.

The Miners live on the Belt, a ramshackle ring of dwellings orbiting the core of a dead star, which they excavate for raw materials.

Traded for food from the Raft, a structure built from the wreckage of the ship, on which a small group of scientists preserve the ancient knowledge which makes survival possible.

Rees curiosity about his world makes him stow away on a flying tree carrying trade between the Belt & the Raft.
