He spent a century building an empire. Now, he has eternity to build a new species.
Noah Vale, the 115-year-old architect of the Vale Drift mega-corporation, bought every medical miracle money could offer to outrun death. But when a highly experimental rejuvenation treatment ends in a catastrophic heart attack, his life is officially over.
Or so he thinks.
Fifty years later, Noah awakens in absolute darkness as "Subject 210"—a preserved brain floating in a nutrient tank at a classified black-site on the dwarf planet Eris. His body is gone, his empire is lost, and his captors intend to psychologically break him to extract the keys to his secret trillion-credit crypto fortune. They expect confusion and compliance from a disembodied mind. What they don’t expect is a consciousness shielded by an undetectable, custom-built nano-symbiote.
Hacking his virtual prison from the inside out, Noah uses his vast hidden wealth to negotiate a high-stakes ransom: a retrofitted ice-hauler and the preserved minds of ten elite specialists.
Fleeing the solar system entirely, Noah refuses to spend eternity in a jar. During a 150-year interstellar coast, he and a brilliant bio-engineer design the "ascension frames"—twenty-foot-tall biomechanical bodies wrapped in engineered nano-skin, capable of surviving the vacuum of deep space and independently incubating a new generation.
