Humanity is on the rise. They have reached out to the stars and things have never been better. Mankind is entering a Golden Age. The universe doesn't care. A star goes Supernova, the ties connecting the human worlds are cut. Everyone is on their own! To survive on faraway Sandpit, its people must band together. Human nature is a bigger threat to existence than the universe though. The leaders of the planet compete for power while a genetically engineered underclass discover that they have a voice in their future. Meanwhile, a cold intelligence on a neighbouring world has plans of his own, plans that could destroy Sandpit. Humanity may die out, it might deserve to!
