About This Book

An aging spacefarer with an uncanny intuitive sense detects a crashed repair ship and warns of imminent danger to a supply run bound for an off-world colony. Labeled obsolete and ignored, he persuades a reluctant captain to take him aboard a vessel whose protective computator is failing, forcing a hazardous transit through an asteroid field. The crew must reckon with the risk of being cut off from loved ones and vital supplies while relying on a controversial human talent rather than machines, highlighting themes of trust, obsolescence, and desperate choices made to protect family and community.
