Description
In 2570, a sleeper will wake. A mysterious object, the Kernel, has been detected coming from high above the solar system, sparking debate about its origins and purpose. As climate change crises continue to unfold, Reid Malenfant, an elderly shuttle pilot, embarks on a journey to explore the Kernel despite the odds. His disappearance leaves behind only a trust fund for his ex-wife, Emma Stoney, who sets out to find him when the Kernel returns. When it does, she discovers that her husband has been cryopreserved and is still alive, albeit culture-shocked in a future he never expected. The Kernel's true nature is revealed as it becomes clear that it is connected to a wormhole, which Malenfant and Emma II use to travel back in time across five billion years.
