Overview

Three hundred years into a voyage to a new home world, the passengers of the Century Ship live in a rigid society built on a single, comforting truth: Earth is waiting for them, pristine and whole. Kaelen, a meticulous mid-deck maintenance worker, is a small cog in a massive machine that is rapidly decaying. He keeps the pipes and wires running, ignoring the whispers and the structural groans. But when a young waste-management boy accidentally breaches a sealed data core in the sub-levels-a place known only as the ""Tomb""-the ship's perfect facade begins to crack. Kaelen and Dr. Thorne, a botanist from the Hydroponics bay, uncover a fifty-year-old conspiracy. Earth was destroyed long ago. Their mission is a lie. The Command Tier has hidden the truth, and a horrific, waterborne plague from the ship's first days of existence has returned, contaminating the entire water supply and mutating the crew into something monstrous. Now, as the truth sparks anarchy among the terrified residents, Kaelen and Thorne must race against time to synthesize a cure from a fragile seed stock. Pursued by a desperate Commander Hanes and a ship's security force fighting to maintain order at all costs, Kaelen must face the monster in the dark-the first victim of the century of lies-and make a final, heartbreaking decision that will determine whether the Century Ship reaches a new world free of its past sins.
