After decades of struggling, the broken remnants of humanity barely escape on the last starship from a cataclysmic otherworldly threat and wanders in the darkness of space for blind hope and a desolate future.

Night, sleep, death and the stars. - Walt Whitman From the Watty's 2014 award-winning author of dystopian literary novel, Espresso Love.
