About This Book

After Earth's destruction, two survivors aboard a space station — a young pilot and an elderly scientist — confront the end of humanity. The scientist fits the pilot's ship with a time-attachment and orders a mission to the biblical Flood to strafe Noah's Ark, killing Noah and his family while sparing the animals so nonhuman life can repopulate and pursue a different evolutionary path. The narrative follows the mission's preparation and execution and examines ethical tensions around scientific authority, calculated extermination, and the consequences of rewriting origins.
