Where do you turn when the stars themselves defy your dreams?

The colony ship Perseverance soars through the cosmic void, carrying fifteen thousand souls dreaming of a new horizon amongst the stars. Yet, a mere eleven awaken to a reality far removed from their celestial aspirations.

Fenrick Shorla, a mere security officer of the eighth sphere expansion, is roused from his cryogenic slumber to discover a colonization plan spiraling into chaos.

The robots, designed to mold the distant star system into a human haven and the crucial command crew, have vanished without a trace. The intended planetary home is not barren and waiting but teeming with intelligent, alien life. And the Perseverance VI? It’s erratically awakening a disparate group of individuals to untangle this cosmic puzzle.

With a motley crew of allies, including a pediatrician and a precocious ten-year-old, Fenrick is thrust into a quest seeded with peril and shrouded in enigma.

Must he facilitate a pioneering contact with the alien inhabitants of their intended new home?

Or unravel a mystery that hints that perhaps they were not the first to traverse the starry abyss?
