About This Book

The narrative follows a man who awakens after what seemed to be execution and finds his mind fragmented and his memory blurred. He becomes entangled with a clandestine group determined to complete an unfinished starship whose hyper-shift relays require a scarce substance called Titanite. A powerful corporation controls the ore and a prior finder was murdered, for which the protagonist was accused, so rival factions hunt for both the ore and the ship. Themes of rebirth, identity, and a secret technological arms race drive tense confrontations on a small moon as a deadline and an approaching starship force desperate choices.
