DAYLIGHT

They made it home to 2108. It isn't theirs anymore.

The jump is perfect. The sky is wrong. Within hours of emergence the crew of the ISV Fermi is intercepted - not by a navy, but by a welcome eighty-two years in the making. The corporation their long-ago kindness created has grown into an empire built on their own legend, and its founder-worship has teeth: the crew are its holy relics, and relics don't get to leave.

Worse: this is not the century they left. Somewhere in their escape from 2026 they left one wound open in history, and the future healed crooked around it. Only six people alive remember the world as it should be - and the oldest woman in the world, who has waited a lifetime to catch them, holds them in the palm of her hand.

There is no darkness left to hide in. No lagoon deep enough, no lake cold enough. What remains is the one heist no crew has ever attempted: back through time to rob themselves - eleven days adrift in a crack in history, against the eyes that own the sky, at a price one of them has already decided to pay.

The trilogy that began in blackout ends in daylight - where the only thing that ever saved them was letting the right person see them whole.

Daylight is the final novel of the Displacement trilogy.
