Synopsis

At twilight a train from London deposited a man and a little girl at Patchley station. The man was grey-haired, though tall and of soldierly bearing, and the little girl was so tired that she could hardly drag one foot after the other. In the station-yard a pair-horse landau waited, and the coachman, as soon as he saw the couple, stepped down from his perch, touched his cap, and said: “Excuse me, sir, but are you Mr. Cordeiro?”
The other answered him in perfect English, but with a slight foreign accent. “That is my name. You are from Sky Peals, I presume?”
“Yes, sir. Will you kindly step inside?”

    A WALK IN A WORKHOUSE: On a certain Sunday, I formed one of the congregation assembled in the chapel of a large metropolitan Workhouse. With the exception of the clergyman and clerk, and a very few officials, there were none but paupers present. The children sat in the galleries; the women in the body of the chapel, and in one of the side aisles; the men in the remaining aisle.

    Will the space station bring them together or destroy them? 
     
     
     
    Engineer Jax ran away to the farthest space station from Earth in the galaxy. It's nothing more than a pitstop, frequented only by those looking to get away, and there she wanted to live in peace. It's a mess, but it's her Station. 
     
     
     
    But peace was not in the cards once Saunders came on board, a chipper security officer with an infuriating habit of sneaking up on Jax and being friendly. Jax has no interest in attractive security officers reminding her of her stupidest mistakes. 
     
     
     
    Now residents are being killed. There are sounds coming from the walls, ghostly footsteps and murderous, ravenous threats that can't possibly be there. Can they? 
     
     
     
    Deep space is unforgiving. The Station is dying. The residents are going bonkers. Jax discovers there are some problems that can't be fixed by swinging an absurdly large murder-wrench.
