A routine trip to Mars, ends with Bethany Sommers being trapped in Cryosleep and floating through endless space. Centuries later, the crew of the salvage ship Cassandra’s Redemption, led by Captain Johnathan Stark, make a chance find and revive Bethany from her long slumber.
While she slept, the universe became a far different place to the one she left behind. Mankind has long since gone to the stars and the Earth she once knew is a distant memory. Separated from her family, she turns to the only person she can trust. The alien construct, Xartax.
Together with new friends, she starts to unravel the secrets of her past, that will ultimately lead to her future. What happened on Mars? And what is the mysterious mission Xartax has asked her to help him complete? And why are there so many shadow organisations after the crew of the Redemption?
To defend her friends, Bethany must unleash a terrible weapon. A power she fears to control, and yet cannot avoid. Her bond with the alien construct is tested to its limit when she must fight to save her friends.
