A stroll on the beach became the adventure of a lifetime when Dylan and his dad were unexpectedly transported to a mysterious world filled with exploding bomb fires, carnivorous vegetation, and deadly cave creatures. To find a way home, they must work together to survive the dangerous journey across this unfamiliar land. Along the way, Dylan will make some incredible new friends, show his father that he's no longer a little kid, and try to learn the secrets of Syrtisia... before it’s too late!
Raised aboard the spacecraft Deitrich, eleven-year-old Ethan and his eight-year-old brother Dex have known only routine, isolation, and DADI, the ship’s Domestic Activity Database Intelligence who has acted as parent, teacher, and protector since Earth’s collapse. DADI is family. So when another ship appears out of the void, carrying the first humans Ethan has ever met, his world expands, and fractures.
The newcomers believe artificial intelligence destroyed Earth. Ethan believes it saved him.
When the visiting crew reveals a mysterious distress signal from Amenochory Station, a long-abandoned Titan Corp space station rumored to orbit a potentially livable planet, Ethan defies the AI who raised him to join the strangers on their journey. Their discoveries force Ethan to confront shocking secrets about Titan Corp and his own family, all while finding a way to prevent the ideological differences of the past from destroying humanity’s future.
