A story about the «Flying Dutchman» of the far future…
«Polaris», a luxurious space yacht with wealthy celebrities on board, heads into deep space to observe a rare event— the collision of two stars. On its way back to its home planet, the ship disappears; and when it’s discovered, there are neither crew nor passengers on board. And then, sixty years later, Alex Benedict, an antique trader, seeking to buy some items connected to the «Polaris» at auction, suddenly learns that someone is trying to destroy all artifacts associated with the ill-fated ship—and, at the same time, everyone who had anything to do with them or even happened to be nearby.
