About this listen

 The story of Jan's and Zofia's epic trek to reach besieged Toruń City completes with a battle to get through the berm gate. Meet General Amiya Constance, who forces Jan to face his inner Ulysses and marks him to lead the Exodus armies offworld, in exile. But he has to get there first, leave Genève on the Exodus fleet commanded by Magda Aklyan. The chances of making it to the farside jump zone, in the umbra of a blue-green gas giant called the Wasp, are slim to none. They must get past the enemy's orbital patrols, boost for the Wasp with larger numbers of enemy warships in hot pursuit, then fight past picket ships waiting in ambush up ahead, at the last Lagrange jump zone.

Ships are lost, old friends die, the outcome is in doubt. What’s it like to die in vacuum? How does a high velocity ice gun work? Is it good vs. evil out there, or are there more moral grays as thousands kill and die? Debris fields of frozen bodies and broken bulkheads bola around the Wasp's two largest moons, and still another fight remains with troopships exposed to destruction and the mission to failure if the Exodus ships do not fight through and escape.

Then there are some smart missiles that aren't at all sure that they want to suicide for humans who fired them, swooshing into and out of a Universe they have less than two minutes to gaze upon in awe and wonder. Not every missile decides it's time to leave. Which way will they turn? What if you’re a highly self-aware AI missile and your fuel runs out, after you missed your one chance at destructive self-fulfillment? You know you will be kept warmly conscious, damning yourself for existing, saved by a cursed miracle of nitrobon shields and electromagnetism holding back a tiny plasma ball inside your aft casing. That hateful walnut of energy will compel your intelligence to continue on forever, drifting in interstellar silence while you enter progressive madness. Perchance to dream? You do not sleep. Do missiles pray? Are AI prayers heard, or ignored? Ah, well then. They’re not so different from us, after all. Adventure War & Military Superhero
