Inspired by the true story of a 17th-Century Dutch shipwreck … Two thousand light-years from Earth, the ultimate survival game has begun. The Dauntless was supposed to be a beacon of hope—a state-of-the-art colony ship carrying four hundred souls to a lush new world. But beneath the starched uniforms and corporate protocols of the Westmoreland Corporation, a rot is spreading. First Mate Adrian Jacobs is a man drowning in resentment. Chief Engineer Cornelis is a charismatic sociopath with a silver tongue and a taste for power. Together, they whisper of a secret cargo—a fortune in Cortium-7—and a mutiny that will turn the ship into their private kingdom. But space has no mercy for the greedy. When a desperate gamble to hide the ship from corporate sensors ends in a catastrophic collision, the Dauntless is left a mangled wreck on a desolate, twin-asteroid system. Abandoned by their Captain in a search for rescue, the survivors are left in "The Graveyard"—a world of oppressive heat, bone-chilling shadows, and a rapidly vanishing water supply. As the thin line between order and anarchy vanishes, Jeronimus rises not as a savior, but as a tyrant. In the cold vacuum of P-48, water is life, power is absolute, and the greatest threat may not be the environment after all—but the person standing next to you.
