Can her journey preserve humanity’s freedom?

But space is a harsh sanctuary, and freedom is never purchased cheaply.

Alongside a small band of like-minded renegades, Cristina struggles to overcome escalating failures and rising panic. She fears their most lethal threat may be a charismatic but incompetent leader determined to command the colony to its last dying breath…

Can Cristina’s unstoppable determination keep their dream alive, or will the hope for freedom be lost in the void?
