But both the Ministers and the Republic are on the hunt for this information as well-and all factions must contend with the strange and vicious life-forms that have called the ship home for the past millennia. Wren’s history in salvage and skills with ancient languages make him uniquely suited to find and decipher the logs of the ship’s Philosopher Stone experiments, which reportedly found the secret to eternal life.
When snarky human criminal Sean Wren is charged with attempted murder, he avoids conviction by agreeing to a dangerous secret mission ordered by a shady Republic Senator: retrieving data from a thousand-year-old abandoned spaceship orbiting a star about to go nova. In this expansive far-future world, the alien Ministers, who conquered and subjugated humanity, are locked in conflict with the human Republic, which has rebelled. Replete with action and humor, Hunt’s fast-moving debut sends a droll protagonist into the heart of a scientific mystery aboard a derelict spaceship.
