Chaz Eades is on the mission of a lifetime - the first to an alien solar
system far beyond our own - and it's a one-way trip. When he learns that
contact with Earth has been lost, he wants to help reestablish
communication. But the commander insists on science first and contact
later, the crew is inexplicably hostile, and Chaz finds himself
painfully isolated. Soon he realizes that there's a secret at the heart
of the crew's troubles that is much larger than any he could have
imagined.
All bets are off, and he's not at all prepared for the mission he faces
now: survival.
