Year 2217. Earth's biosphere is dying. Mars's terraforming projects are in ruin. And even the voidoids—eerie portals into nearby star systems—have failed to uncover the one treasure humanity needs most. Until now. . . A miracle has been discovered in the Chara system, and Aiden Macallan, Terra Corp's embittered planetary geologist, is on his way there aboard the survey ship Argo. But who will get there first?

The System's rival powers, United Earth Domain and Allied Republics of Mars, want the prize for themselves. A cataclysmic war is about to erupt, and Aiden finds himself pulled into its vortex of violence—and into the heart of a profound mystery where the key to humanity's survival lies hidden.

To find it, he'll need to trek alone across a living landscape--one that's either trying to kill him or heal him--guided only by his enigmatic AI sidekick, Hutton, and by a recurring dream that grows more frighteningly real with each step. The miracle has become far more than it seemed, and now Aiden is the only person alive who can save it—and the human race—from certain extinction.
