Synopsis
In the gas torus of a neutron star, humans who were stranded centuries ago have adapted to life in freefall among enormous, T-shaped "integral trees" that orbit within the breathable atmosphere. When a group of colonists is forced to leave their tree, they must navigate the strange and perilous environment of the Smoke Ring to find a new home.
