In the race for the stars, the greatest threat isn't a self-aware entity-it's humans.
Global collapse was narrowly avoided, but humanity is resilient. As a new administration pushes for space manifest destiny, ghosts of the past linger. Congress is paralyzed by fear, haunted by the memory of a radical cult that turned an advanced artificial super-intelligence (ASI) entity into a weapon of mass destruction.
Now, accidents plague the new spaceport. They must navigate a landscape of shifting ethics and forge ahead without the assistance of a generalized AI system.
But the enemy isn't a futuristic opponent. A terrorist cell has seized 1,200 hostages, holding them-and the world-at the mercy of a terrifying relic: a 1950s-era nuclear warhead.
Operating in a world that has outlawed the very technology that could help them, the Daedalus Group must again try to mitigate a situation that seems hopeless. How do you stop a nuclear nightmare when the tools of the future are forbidden, and the horrors of the past are back to finish the job?
