Life imprisonment in the galaxy’s most miserable hellhole, where hope goes to die and the food probably qualifies as a ...

“Fifty years later, the world we became—and what we left behind.” Fifty years after the sky opened and humanity learned the truth, the world is unrecognizable. Floating cities drift on antigravity anchors. Illnesses that once defined entire eras have vanished. The planet has healed. War has quietly retired from human vocabulary.
