Sol Voss wakes from cryosleep aboard Jericho, humanity’s last great colony ship—a war machine, an ark, and a relic of a dying Earth. Its mission is simple in theory: seed life where possible, repair Haven’s failing fusion core—or, if necessary, deliver its own. Dragon, the final fusion core Earth will ever produce, is the last ember of a planet already doomed. Haven, the only surviving human colony after the failure of dozens before it, teeters on the edge of collapse. If Jericho fails, so does humanity. But Jericho is more than a vessel. It is the last creation of Voss Enterprises, the corporate empire that rose from the ashes of centuries of war, uniting Earth through control, not salvation. Dr. Julian Voss didn’t just shape humanity’s future—he dictated it. And now, with him gone, his legacy, his secrets, and his greatest experiment are left in Sol’s hands. To the crew, she is a relic of a bygone era, the nepotism-born daughter of a man history remembers as the greatest scientific mind to ever live—a genius who ruled Earth through technologies only he could create. Julian Voss wasn’t just a scientist; he was a visionary, a man whose intellect reshaped the course of human history. Now, Sol inherits power she did not earn and a mission she was never meant to lead, forcing her into conflict with the captains as they struggle to fill the power vacuum her father’s death left behind. But the cutting-edge Jericho is not the only thing her father left behind. Something stirs in her blood—something engineered, something monstrous. A virus. A hunger. A question she doesn’t yet know how to ask. As Jericho drifts further into the void on a journey that will span centuries, its secrets begin to unravel. A locked laboratory. A crew with buried pasts. An enemy that should not exist. Something is watching. Something is hunting. And the deeper Sol digs, the more she begins to question if the real horror isn’t what waits outside—but what has already taken root inside. The crew keeps secrets. The ship remembers. Something is lurking. And as Sol fights to uncover the truth, she is forced to confront a terrifying possibility: she may not be human at all. Jericho was built for survival. But survival always has a cost. And as the centuries pass, Sol must face a chilling truth—her father’s mission may never have been to save humanity… but to remake it.
