Blurb at the back:

Cass has stumbled on an entirely different kind of physics, and she has travelled to a remote experimental facility in the hope of bringing this tantalising alternative to life. The experiment is wildly successful; the novo-vacuum is more stable than the ordinary vacuum around it. But then the reason in which the new physics holds sway proceeds to expand at half the speed of light. Most people are desperate to stop the novo-vacuum before all of inhabited space is consumed, but a few others believe the challenge of adapting to survive on the far side of the border could reinvigorate a civilisation that has grown stale and insular...
