A.I. personality research was banned – for a reason.

Galactic navy recruit Bache Loftt is on his final exercise after two years of study at the galaxy’s Naval Officer Training Academy.

What starts as a routine end of course starship flight out to the edge of charted space quickly becomes a fight for survival and an unplanned journey into a dangerous corner of the Milky Way.

Disaster follows misfortune in this tale of corrupt ancient technology, betrayal and ingrained distrust.

Follow Bache and company as they endeavour to save a remote and resolutely independent human community from a genocidal artificial intelligence whose prime objective is to rid the galaxy of all sentient biological life.
