And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he's got to do it all alone. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it's up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery-and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.

His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. Except that right now, he doesn't know that.
