On Mars, Jason discovers an ancient escape pod connected to a 3,500-year-old alien starship. The ship’s AI promptly declares him captain—thanks to a trace of alien DNA in his system.
What should have been a monumental discovery quickly turns chaotic. Earth and Mars authorities want the starship under their control, the glitchy AI isn’t entirely functional, and Jason’s DNA hides a forbidden trait linked to a war that devastated the galaxy millennia ago.
As tensions rise and old enemies awaken, Jason must decide whether to embrace the monstrous potential hidden in his DNA. Can he wield it to defend humanity, or will becoming the galaxy’s nightmare doom them all?
