Piercing the Celestial Ocean by Kip Koelsch

AN EPIC TALE, A MEETING OF TWO UNIVERSES Captain Anton Ekels seizes the opportunity for redemption he recognizes in the Endeavor’s near-collision with an alien stasis pod. Expelled from the mouth of a remote wormhole, the capsule—once taken onboard the deep space research vessel–reveals clues that the captain believes may link its female humanoid occupant to an alternate reality.
SIX-HUNDRED YEARS EARLIER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORMHOLE Grand Master G’lea and her assistant aim their innovative celestiscope skyward and make a heretical discovery. Despite the best efforts of the Grand Conclave the legend of the Grand Master and her assistant lives on for hundreds of years in hand-copied, forbidden books, the furtive whisperings of radical academics, and the tall tales of drunken sailors on the island of Lolus–where a passionately curious sea captain decides she must know the truth.
