Description
The starship Ariel is on a mission of utmost secrecy, with the fate of thousands of lives hanging in the balance. Its six crew members are crammed into a space barely large enough to stand, with five officers and one man, Will Kuno-Monet, responsible for running the ship's delicate technology. In a future where the colonization of the stars has proven disastrous and civilization on Earth has collapsed under terrorism, humanity clings to small settlements on barely habitable planets. To survive, these communities rely heavily on robotics and genetic engineering. A new force emerges, a world-spanning religion bent on converting all mankind to its creed, sending fleets of starships to reclaim the colonies. Will's unique skills as a man bred to interface with robots make him the perfect candidate for a perilous mission behind enemy lines: to discover the secret of their newest weapon. What he uncovers will transform humanity's understanding of science and civilization forever, but at a great cost.
