Stranded deep in interstellar space when their guidance computers fail, the crew of a colony ship attempts to engineer artificial consciousness to survive.

Aboard the starship Earthling bound for Tau Ceti, the three organic computer brains guiding thousands of hibernating colonists break down in deep space. Crew members John Bickel, Raja Flattery, and Prudence Weygand face an existential deadline: build an artificial consciousness to navigate the ship before systems fail.

As the crew experiments with cybernetic logic, neurology, and consciousness theory, they realize their corporate sponsors engineered the failure as a lethal laboratory test, forcing them to solve the puzzle of mind creation under psychological collapse.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Dune author Frank Herbert delivers hard sci-fi philosophical tension, early artificial intelligence theory, and claustrophobic deep-space survival. Essential reading for Frank Herbert collectors and classic sci-fi fans.
