Description
The starship Archimedes has been hurtling through space for over five generations, a beacon of light in the vast emptiness. Now, as it approaches its destination, Tau Ceti, the ship's ageing crew prepares to brake, marking the end of an era. For trainee engineer Ravinder MacLeod, this means a world left behind. As Braking Day draws near, Ravi finds himself torn between his aspirations and his family's expectations. His brilliant but troubled cousin Boz seems determined to make life difficult, adding to Ravi's growing sense of unease. When assigned to routine maintenance deep in the ship's engines, Ravi is confronted with something impossible - a mystery that threatens to upend his reality. As Ravi searches for answers, he turns to Boz for help, and together they uncover secrets at the intersection of past and present. But not everyone is eager to reach their destination, and the ghosts of those who came before may still linger, refusing to be laid to rest.
