Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, lastchance mission – if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home – and with nothing but two corpses for company. Alone on a tiny, broken down ship, it’s up to him to conquer an extinction-level threat to our species. And, courtesy of an unexpected ally, he might just have a chance to succeed.
