Description
In the twenty-second century, humanity has evolved into strange new subspecies, with technology and science advancing at an unprecedented rate. Yet, amidst this rapid progress, a sense of unease settles over the world. An alien presence lurks, watching and waiting, its intentions unknown. For Daniel Bruks, a field biologist turned fugitive, this new world is a place of refuge, but also of danger. When Bruks awakens on a ship bound for the center of the solar system, he is thrust into a world of uncertainty. The ship's passengers are a diverse group, each with their own secrets and motivations. There is the grief-stricken soldier, the pilot who has sworn to kill, and the vampire and its zombie bodyguards. As they journey deeper into the unknown, they are drawn to a mysterious destination known only as "The Angels of the Asteroids." This is a moment of truth, one that will change the course of human history forever.
