Henry Morgan went to a baseball game hoping to catch a pop fly – not an untimely death from a flying lawnmower to the head.
It’s the lawnmower he gets. But he doesn’t stay dead. Instead, he wakes up to find that a century has passed, and he’s being drafted to be the governing AI for humanity’s first interstellar starship.
In the year 2117, humanity is confronted by a metastasizing alien threat that’s already established itself in the asteroid belt.
It’s Henry the starship’s job to sail out to it, investigate it, and end it.
Or to die trying.
