Dark Secret by Edward M. Lerner
When the experimental ship Clermont is urgently recalled from a long-range test flight, neither Dana McElwain nor Blake Westford, its captain and crew, imagines that they are about to embark on a much more urgent voyage -- or that this new mission will determine the fate of the human race.

A gamma-ray burst -- the deadly beam of radiation spawned seven thousand years earlier in the death throes of doomed neutron stars -- is about to wipe the Solar System clean of all life. Only the Clermont's prototype Dark Energy Drive might carry anyone, and any of humanity's legacy, to safety before that extinction.

And then what? Where beyond the Solar System is safe? What if the price of survival is to become less ... human?
