James Gunn takes a stab at some serious alternate reality in this story.
A message form an alien culture is decoded and instructions to build a ship capable of entering a wormhole to travel to a distant solar system is discovered.
The ship is built and flown where directed.
Hold on to your brains as life inside is difficult to understand and manipulate.
I thought Gunn did a great job of making such a challenging environment light and fun to read.
It stands apart from the other stories in that it is less blue-collar Hard SF than scientific Hard SF.
I enjoyed it very much and found it quite cinematic in my mind. I kept seeing Event Horizon blended with Memento.
