5,000 years after Earth both the Ship and its society are on the verge of collapse.
Launched as the last gasp of a dying planet, the Ship's Mission was to preserve humanity by seeding the universe with one billion colonists. Its journey was supposed to last 100 years -- not 5,000.
Fifteen-year-old Zax has always had trouble fitting in with the other cadets, but he's finally on the cusp of attaining his dream and gaining entrance to the Flight Academy. Catching the eye of the Flight Boss and winning him as a mentor will guarantee Zax a top spot, unless the shocking discovery he makes along the way destroys not only his career, but also the Ship itself.
