In 2058, humanity is on the verge of its first interstellar voyage. Massive ships, fueled by comet resources, will be launched to colonize distant worlds. However, because even the nearest solar systems are so far away, the comets must be destroyed mid-flight to achieve the necessary speed, a process that will kill all living organisms aboard except for frozen sperm, eggs, and machines. Carrying the unborn children of the Robinsons, the first ship of its kind is now heading to Ozma, carrying with it the hopes and anxieties of all humankind.
