Eve expected to open her eyes in a new world.
  When the colony ark ship Jason launched from a dying Earth in 2325 CE, humanity’s hope lay frozen in cryostasis—seven thousand souls bound for a new beginning among the stars. But somewhere in the silent dark, hope turned to horror. A hijacking. A civil war. Nuclear detonations inside the ship itself. And then—nothing.
  Nearly five centuries later, Eve wakes in a medical ward aboard the Mars Federation Navy rescue ship Nyasaland, the lone surviving officer of the Jason. Everyone she ever knew—her crew, her fiancé, her home world—is gone. Of the thousands aboard the ark, only a few hundred colonists remain, still locked in cryo. The rest are dead. The Jason is a radioactive tomb spiraling toward a super-Jovian gas giant, too shattered to save.
  By salvage law, Eve is now the captain of a ship that no longer exists.
  Thrust into a future she doesn’t understand—where neural nets define identity, synthetic people serve alongside humans, and Mars commands a vast interstellar government—Eve must navigate fame, politics, and trauma she hasn’t begun to process. Her rescuers see her as a symbol. Historians see her as a miracle. The media will see her as prey.
  But buried somewhere in the wreckage of the Jason is the truth about what really happened during those final, violent days—a truth someone may be desperate to keep hidden.
  Eve survived five hundred years of silence.
  Now she must survive the future.
