Stephen Baxter: Hearthspace (Book)
Hearthspace

Many light years from Earth, humans have colonised the many worlds of a 'dark matter star', sunlike but far vaster in scale, and hosting a torrent of planets, many of them Earthlike . . .

But now all the colonists have built is threatened by an age-old scourge of humanity itself . . .
