Made me think of this Brin book. The first ship to try to leave the solar system, crashes into an invisible crystal barrier. It's unbreakable.

I'm confused. The plot summary talks about an impenetrable sphere around our solar system, but also says, "The main character takes part in an expedition to a newly discovered habitable solar system with a shattered sphere." How'd the character escape from our own system?
