About This Book

A man exiled to a prison planet for a murder he insists he did not commit awakens on Earth with an implanted identity and minimal supplies. He confronts the harsh reality of a penal dumping-ground, meets a woman who brings him to a group of fellow exiles, and struggles to adapt while trying to uncover who framed him. The narrative follows his efforts to survive in unfamiliar surroundings, negotiate exile society's rules, and pursue a path to vindication amid limited resources and fading ties to his former life.
