Synopsis
Deep-Space Homecomer
When Earth’s heart falls into eternal slumber, hope lies hidden aboard an ancient starship.
Retired soldier Chen Feng has his family’s heirloom Tang Dao in hand and wants nothing more than to mix drinks in peace amid the wasteland of the apocalypse.
It is only when the Yaksha Gang massacres his bar that he sighs helplessly: “That retirement pension isn’t easy to earn.”
The Tang Dao slides into its sheath. A star chart unfolds, and a cold AI announces: “Homecomer bloodline detected. Coordinates locked on the Andromeda Galaxy. Welcome home, Captain.”
A bronze starship lies dormant in the Gobi, its energy depleted and enemies closing in on all sides.
The “Corporation” blocks out the sky with its iron wings, while fanatics from the “Redemption Society” pursue him from behind.
Chen Feng must unravel the mystery of his bloodline and search through fallen bases and perilous deep space for the elusive coordinates of the sister ship Penglai.
The countdown to the Earth’s core entering hibernation has begun. Human civilization hangs by a thread.
And the truth is cruel: the dying planet beneath their feet may itself be the relic of an ancient catastrophe.
This is both an escape spanning light-years and an ultimate quest to understand what “home” means.
When the spark of life falls into the deepest darkness, only by gripping the blade in his hand can he, in this age of destruction,
restart Earth.
Hardcore science fiction meets Eastern mystery, as humanity’s path home is questioned amid the ruins of the apocalypse.
The key has entered the lock. The story has only just begun.
