Humanity receives three world-changing gifts from an alien object: gravity control, faster-than-light communication, and cognitive materialization. These miracles usher in an age of expansion across the solar system. Then the object turns dangerous. Within a decade of its discovery, it goes out of control and spawns a hostile, self-spreading ecosystem that people come to call the Apocalypse. After three months of deadlock in Earth orbit, humanity is driven off the planet and starts its calendar over. By the year A.A. 45, children raised on the Moon and in space colonies have never known a world without this threat. On the lunar surface, a boy named Ray Azumi wakes up. An action mecha story set in the long shadow of that disaster.
