There are great deserts in space. Matter is not spread evenly. On average it balances out in all directions, but some regions are not average. For every dense cluster of galaxies in one place, there is a tremendous void somewhere else. These voids are not black holes. They are areas of normal space that just happen to contain…nothing much. There are no galaxies within them, no stars, no planets, and no moons. They can stretch tens or even hundreds of millions of light years across. Scientists have theorized that, if a man found himself at the center of such an empty space and looked around, he would see only darkness in every direction. Even the brightest galaxies, they say, would be too far distant to be visible to the naked eye. I got a chance to test that theory firsthand. I am the most distant exile in human history. My name is Prisoner Number One. This is my story.
