"Of all places, Hope's navigator brought me here, to this moon, twenty light years from Earth. She's damaged almost beyond repair, my copilot is missing, and I barely recognize myself. Orbiting a dead planet and punished by a brutally hot sun, my mission log holds just one objective: PLANT THE SEEDS."
