Delinquent or Prophet? Whichever one teenager Josh Driscoll is, he may be the Station’s only hope for survival.
Josh lives in the Station, is a city buried deep beneath the surface of a frozen, lifeless earth, its origins lost in the mists of time. His frequent rule-breaking exploits are focused on a single question – how did we get here, and where are we going?
But Josh goes too far when he steals a space-suit and travels to the surface to explore.
As punishment, the governing Station Council forcibly enrolls him as a novice monk at Saint Carmine’s, the Station’s resident monastery. At first desperate to escape, Josh is gradually drawn into the monastery’s ancient texts.
Discovering an encrypted journal hidden for centuries, he learns that the Black Heart, a computer complex critically damaged in an ancient asteroid strike, holds the answers he’s been seeking, and is all that stands between the earth and annihilation. When the deranged head of the Council is determined to obliterate the complex and doom them all, Josh leads a desperate battle to stop him.
But can Josh and his tiny band of followers prevail in time to save the planet?
