So, the Ilus colonists left our Solar system about 2½ years ago, which must have been after the previous book ended and the gates opened. "So they've been living on Ilus for a year, and suddenly RCE shows up and tells them that, oops, it's really their planet?"Īnd multiple references are made to the fact that the journey from Medina to Ilus takes 1½ years: First the colony was alone there for one year: It had been following Holden around for the two years since they'd deactivated the Ring Station.Īctually, more like 2½ years. Miller's ghost was an artifact of the alien technology that had created the gates and a dead man.
