When Commander Yuno Pryor awakens aboard the ISS Hermes, humanity's most ambitious mission has already gone terribly wrong. Sent to study Gaia BH1, the closest known black hole to Earth, he finds his ship on a fatal trajectory and the laws of physics beginning to unravel around him. What follows is not a scientific triumph, but a journey into the impossible.
Thrown across space and time, Yuno crash-lands on a frozen world that should not exist. Beneath endless ice and a sky shrouded in haze, he discovers geothermal sanctuaries, strange lifeforms, and unsettling clues that this planet may be far more familiar than it appears. With only his ingenuity and an AI companion, survival becomes a race against isolation, dwindling supplies, and the mysteries hidden beneath the ice.
As each discovery raises new questions, Yuno must decide whether he is merely surviving at the end of the universe, or uncovering the greatest secret humanity has ever known.
