They know that there is no such thing as the End¸ no Void beyond the Void¸ and that there is something out there to be found. It is the role of explorers and wanderers to find these things and turn them from mystery to fact.This book looks at the process of exploring the Rim and the many uncharted planets and systems that make it such an attractive topic.
