Exiled to Yamo Penal Colony, he scavenges his father's legacy. Hunted by Alcan, an unyielding AI born from Alcaniz tech, he fights for survival.
With Emily Brish, a fierce ally, Michael pursues his father's final message. Their path cut through abandoned worlds, sentient libraries, and deadly spires. Guided by Torch, a quirky android, Michael discovers he's an amalgam, built to defy Kambyses, a malevolent Alcaniz entity steering Alcan. Every move is tracked. Every choice courts oblivion.
