Song and Signal - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Humanity was nearly wiped out by its own curiosity. Thrust into the stars before its time, the human race now works to understand its alien counterparts, and to decipher the workings of the strange Helix Gates that send ships hurtling vast distances across the universe. Zakari Sharp is a seventeen year-old genius. He lives on a corporate-owned mining facility at the edge of the solar system, with a mute alien for a guardian and brainwashed, musclebound ex-convicts for company. He’s never touched the soil of a planet, or stared up at a sun-streaked sky. His father vanished when Zakari was only a child, and was never heard from again. Until now. Chased off-station by a cabal of near-mythical assassins, Zakari and his best friend Elizabet are plunged into a harrowing journey across the galaxy, a journey to find his missing father’s resting place and the universe-shaking discovery that might rest with him. But the enemies at their back will stop at nothing to uncover the secret themselves, including turning a ruined man into a walking weapon with a single purpose: to kill Zakari Sharp. Can a teenage boy change the fate of the universe? Or will a nanotech-wielding killer reach him first?
