One million years into the future, a young man stumbles upon the truth about the destruction of humanity's first home, Earth. But did he really?
Nathan Ross is one of the few thousand survivors of the disaster that will- forever remain in the hearts of every surviving human. Now on the make-shift colony, MoonEx, he can't help but notice that several things don't add up. When he stumbles upon evidence that suggest the Earth's destruction wasn't accidental, he turns to his only trusted companion, his virtual assistant, Borgina. They try to piece the missing parts of the puzzle together but what he doesn't realize is that as unbelievable as it might sound, Borgina has some secrets of her own.
Twenty years after the end of the Cyborg War, the last cyborgs try to hijack a starship on its way to terraform an alien world. They want the new colony to be a cyborg colony in which they will rebuild their strength and practice their way of life. During the fighting, though, the starship is damaged, so that instead of travelling light years across space it ends up a billion years in the future, alongside a planet Earth that is near the end of its life.
The cyborgs, momentarily defeated, leave the ship in a captured landing craft and go down to the planet, but before they go they sabotage the ship so that it is no longer able to support life. The crew have no choice but to follow them down to the planet where they have to fight not just the cyborgs but also forms of life a billion years more evolved than humans. Creatures that have grown tough and hardy in an attempt to cope with the increasingly harsh conditions that prevail there.
As if things weren't bad enough, there is conflict among the ship's crew as they fight to decide which of them will be in charge and how they will meet the challenges facing them, and even if they survive all this they will still have to deal with the discovery of the ultimate fate that awaits all intelligent life in the universe...
