She lay abandoned, moored to the south end of Luna Farside, left for scrap. Captain Dak Smith saw in her something special, an opportunity to burn for the far horizon as an independent, free from the gloms that hold known space in thrall – but he had to get her running first. Armed with a standard-issue captain's eyebrow and an infectious grin, Captain Smith and his hand-picked crew embark on an adventure through deep space filled with scoundrels, pirates, and some incredibly unfortunate peace-loving rocks that happened to be at the wrong place, at the worst time.

A doomed colony, locked in the icy grip of a merciless glom, teeters on the brink of ruin in the farthest reaches of deep space. Captain Dak Smith and the crew of the Archaea put their lives on the line in a race against an impossible deadline, on a mission that can't fail. As they struggle to accomplish the impossible, one crew member helps them push beyond the limits of what can be done, to do what must be done. In doing so, they learn that for her, nothing is impossible, and there may be no limits at all.

In his relentless quest for perfection and adventure, Captain Dak Smith hauls his eyebrows around for another orbit, launching his crew, his command, and his venerable wit towards the Endless on an incredible adventure into the depths of space, time, and humanity. From frozen dust to rotten muck, from here to there and everywhere in between, they are the only ones with the courage and stubborn determination to put themselves between danger and corruption, to stand tall in defense of the small, to face evil incarnate with clear eyes and a clenched fist. Strap in, refill your cup, and flash greens to the board - it's time to launch!

Beyond what is said, and what it done - beyond everything that is known, lurk nightmares beyond imagination, beyond fear. An incredible discovery exposes the hatching plan of a dire threat, launching Captain Dak Smith and the crew of the Archaea into action on an adventure into the forgotten, the forlorn, and the unforgettable. Their mission: Survival.
