Between Earth and outer space lies the Cord... In the distant future lies Station, an orbiting space station tethered by a cord to Earth. This unique space elevator makes it possible for people to travel into low-orbit without rockets, allowing for unprecedented space exploration and tourism. Travel along the cord with a robot repairman who uncovers a disturbing conspiracy, a teenaged girl who is caught up in a revolution, and a tour guide trying to reestablish a lost connection with his brother on Earth. This unfolding story told in vignettes over future locales and times reveals the enigma of the cord and the secrets between the fragile ties connecting lovers, friends, and the generations who traverse it.
