Description
Solomon has passed judgement. He has chosen his ideal humans for Project Nomad, humanity's first extrasolar colony on Opis, forty light years from an Earth ravaged by more than a century of disease, famine, and war. The launch of the Ainatio corporation's ageing interstellar ship, Shackleton, is now their only chance to escape. However, an unknown informer has betrayed a deadly secret: Solomon is the sole survivor of a banned class of AIs that were shut down after causing millions of human deaths. This revelation puts him at odds with the Alliance of Asian-Pacific States, who will stop at nothing to prevent his escape. Meanwhile, Captain Bridget Ingram is making her own deal with newly-discovered neighbours on Opis. They have offered to share a technology that could change the future of humanity, but at a steep price: protection from unknown threats. As Ingram navigates this complex web of alliances and rivalries, she must decide whether to take the biggest gamble of her life or risk everything for the sake of humanity's future.
