Synopsis

Ryland Grace wakes up alone on a spaceship with no memory of who he is or why he's there. As his memories slowly return, he realizes he's humanity's last hope — sent on a desperate mission to save Earth from an extinction-level threat. His only ally is an unexpected companion from another star system.
