Description
"I'm not Mary. She's rather dead... " Desperate to save his dying daughter, Jim Atteberry does the unthinkable: with the help of Kate Braddock and the Echo's crew, he transfers her consciousness into the ship's AI network, and allows her body to be cryogenically frozen.
But once Mary's mind merges with the computer system, the Echo becomes something terrifyingly new. The ship mind -- possessed by Mary's memories, haunted by ancient alien knowledge, and twisted by a strange darkness -- fixates on an unexplored celestial rift, willing to destroy anyone who stands in its way. Why this obsession? And what monstrous secret waits on the other side of the lonely scar?
As the Echo spirals toward the rift, Earth slips into chaos. Nations tear themselves apart, primed for the rise of the ruthless Robertson Tang. His ambition? Total domination. And to achieve it, he needs the Echo and its deadly mutated ship mind.
Caught between a soulless AI bent on the unknown and a power-hungry madman, Jim, Kate, and the rest of the crew must risk everything to save Earth -- or face oblivion. Will they unravel the mystery that drives the Echo, or will it consume them first?
