When she discovers an exoplanet with an unstable orbit around the nearby star Tau Sagittarii, Uma knows something is not right. Is this an opportunity or a threat to humanity?
In her struggle to uncover the truth behind her discovery, Uma meets Abdo, a clever robotics specialist presenting her with an alternative and unsettling interpretation of what she has detected. Together, Uma and Abdo unmask a conspiracy entangling the scientific community and corporations. Their lives are at stake, while a vital rescue mission to Saturn's moon Titan hangs in the balance.
Prepare to be captivated by this truly original hard science fiction saga that will ignite your imagination. Alternating between Uma's and Abdo's points of view, you'll explore a world where facts and speculation intertwine and the boundaries of possibility blur. You will experience a futuristic New York City, the newly cultivated African desert and a terraformation-failed Mars, while wondering about what needs to be recovered from Titan.
