After running at full capacity for three continuous years, Captain Cade Merrick is forced by co-pilot Lyra Voss to take a long-overdue one-week solo holiday on the uninhabited, scenic planet CP19-Delta. Cade reluctantly agrees, leaving his crew in orbit aboard the Aurora.
The lush world of CP19-Delta is an ideal sanctuary with forests of silver-leaved trees and flat, warm oceans. However the peaceful setting is quickly overshadowed by a harrowing discovery. When Cade returns to the Aurora after his communications suddenly cease he finds the vessel operating autonomously but completely devoid of its crew leaving behind a cold silent absence.
While on the planet Cade stumbles upon MAX a damaged, ancient robot and the oldest operational artificial intelligence in the known galaxy. Built four thousand years ago by the advanced Aehari civilization, MAX reveals a terrifying reality.
