"When Special Agent Petrov and Dr. Lei Zhang are woken up from cryogenic sleep, dragged freezing and dripping wet out of their pods with the ship's alarms blaring in the background, they know something is very wrong. Warned by the Captain that they're under attack, they have no choice but to investigate. It doesn't take much time to learn that they've been met by another vessel-a vessel from Paradise-One, Earth's first deep-space colony, and their final destination. Worse still, the vessel is empty. And it carries with it the message that all communications from the 150,000 souls inhabiting the Paradise-One has completely ceased. Petrov and Zhang must board the empty ship and delve further into deep space to discover the truth of the colony's disappearance-but the further they go, the more dangers loom"-- Provided by publisher
