Synopsis

In a far future where humanity has mastered programmable matter, the immortal Queendom of Sol faces a crisis as its resources run out. Bruno de Towaji must return from exile to help his ex-wife, the Queen, make impossible choices about the future of civilization — including whether to literally crush the moon for raw materials.
