Overview from Barnes & Noble:
First in a brand new
thought-provoking science fiction series.
The lines. No ship can traverse the
void without them. Only linesmen can work with them. But only Ean Lambert hears
their song. And everyone thinks he’s crazy…
Most slum kids never go far, certainly
not becoming a level-ten linesman like Ean. Even if he’s part of a small, and
unethical, cartel, and the other linesmen disdain his self-taught methods, he’s
certified and working.
Then a mysterious alien ship is
discovered at the edges of the galaxy. Each of the major galactic powers is
desperate to be the first to uncover the ship’s secrets, but all they’ve
learned is that it has the familiar lines of energy—and a defense system that,
once triggered, annihilates everything in a 200 kilometer radius.
The vessel threatens any linesman who
dares to approach it, except Ean. His unique talents may be the key to
understanding this alarming new force—and reconfiguring the relationship
between humans and the ships that serve them, forever.

The conversation is always good.
