However, to do sothey must first physically transport one end of the wormhole to where they want it to be, so settingup a wormhole will always rely on physical travel first of all.A ship is sent to Mu Arae, earth-like planet discovered 10 years before. It is a journey that willtake 80 years, the crew, who will eventually set up the wormhole on the planet, kept in suspendedanimation.But only a few years into the trip, catastrophe strikes and the ship blows up en route, killing allaboard.2190, eighty years after the starship set out.Gordon Kemp is a detective working in the cold case department in London.
