3003: Misery

The time has come for a new type of human.

The year is 3003, and a lone starship crosses a galaxy at war to find an ancient substance.

Gabriel Newell, the team leader of intergalactic deep sea saturation divers, confronts his old friends in a new environment as they travel to the mysterious ocean planet, code name A3003, locally called Misery.

Meanwhile at home, EarthGov careens over the abyss as its statespeople fight in brutal and relentless cloak-and-dagger politics where no one has any allies. Price Waters, the ambitious and uncontrollable heir of the Water purification dynasty, finds himself tested to his absolute limits as he battles with others and himself to master the fate of the Empire.

Lastly, the optimistic outcast Derrick May finds himself thrust into the viper's nest of the Twin Dolphins Palace, the heart of EarthGov, where he is sent to investigate a mysterious crime that proves to have far reaching consequences.

Enemies surround an embattled cast who all find themselves repeatedly drawn to one place: that ancient, all-important planet, Misery. This is a story of heroes attacked from all corners, fighting against all the odds, even themselves, to conquer a world of nihilism and forever-wars. Will they triumph against the silence of the cosmos? Or will the void swallow them whole?
