On the outer edge of explored space, a planetary surveying agency has lost a vessel, the Quantum 4. A mysterious explosion aboard the ship has automatically jettisoned a small escape vehicle, a Life Pod, into an unsurveyed solar system with a single survivor aboard.
This lone man is Lieutenant Ian J. Teague, and his sudden resuscitation from cryosleep has left him shocked, confused, and in danger of perishing at any moment. He finds himself inside the small craft, thrust into an environment of complete
chaos as the ship begins to deteriorate around him. Working together, Teague and AMI (Autonomous Mission Intelligence, a quantum AI on board, that is operating on half capacity) manage to stabilize their craft long enough to land on an unsurveyed planet where they discover that their problems have only just begun.
The planet proves to be anything but hospitable to supporting life, thus they begin the arduous process of survival as crisis upon crisis stack up threatening to eradicate both of them at any given moment. They have to rely on each other’s strengths and
soon find that forming a personal connection becomes the key element of their continued existence in this strange, beautiful but hazardous world.
