What happens with something becomes someone? In the aftermath of an asteroid impact  Earth's
power grid is damaged nearly beyond recovery. The survival of our world may well depend on
energy sources collected from an abandoned undersea settlement beneath the icy surface of
Enceladus. Earth-raised Colonel Carter Rhodes  in charge of Earth's recovery efforts  calls
upon Gwen Baré  a Venusian engineer  to regain control of the deserted moon outpost and collect
fuel for Earth's collapsing power grids. However  what Gwen discovers churning in Enceladus's
subsurface waters brings her and Colonel Rhodes' straightforward plans to a crashing halt. Soon
Gwen finds herself in the middle of an interplanetary standoff. Win  and give the last humans
on Earth a chance to survive. Lose  and risk the permanent dismantling of human society across
the Solar System. Forced to take sides in this war for power  resources  and species survival 
Gwen must make choices that not only affect her own life  but also force her to question what
life itself might really mean. Will the promise of Enceladus energy be enough to salvage what
is left of Earth's society? Are these humans worthy of salvation?.
