From the Inside Flap:

When you gaze into the sky at night, what do you see? Up there lies the beautiful Milky Way, our home galaxy, and beyond it are the vast expanses of space where time and distance are related and nothing is what it seems. Out there, somewhere, are the secrets of where we came from and where we’re going. Told in the voice of the Milky Way itself, The Secret Galaxy will sweep you into the stars for an experience full of wonder.
