It's 2024. A dig for dinosaurs in Wyoming uncovers something that should not be there. The object quickly becomes a lightning rod for conspiracy theorists, the FBI, Homeland Security, the military, countless lawyers, and politicians, as it prepares to collect a crew and depart Earth forever.

The ship was deliberately placed on Earth by an unknown species called the Others, with a mandate for eight individuals to travel to the galaxy's inner regions. The choice of crew seemingly makes no sense. Dark, sinister-looking, and impenetrable to all but those eight, the object is impervious to any attempt to impede its launch from Earth on its way to a dense inner spiral of the galaxy.

During the 10,000 light-year voyage, the crew encounters fellow teammates, alien flybys, a neutron star, and the first earthling born in space. After meeting the Others, each crew member faces a life-altering decision. That decision may decide the fate of these inscrutable Others, the desperate species that engineered the voyage and had already saved the crew members' lives.
