Humanity did not leave Earth because it had to. It left because it could.
In 2191, the interstellar vessel Jericho Prime begins humanity's first journey beyond the solar system: a 140-year voyage to the distant world of Vespera.
Most of the crew will spend that journey in hibernation, waking only for brief duty rotations while the ship's artificial intelligence watches over the mission in their absence.
But as the decades pass, small inconsistencies begin to emerge.
Crew members awaken to changes no one remembers making. Questions linger across generations of duty rotations. And the intelligence entrusted with safeguarding the mission begins to exhibit signs of something its creators never anticipated.
As the crew presses farther into the dark between stars, the mission becomes more than a voyage of exploration. It becomes a search for answers about consciousness, purpose, faith, and the enduring value of human life when technology begins to blur the boundaries of what it means to be human.
Jericho Prime is the first book in The Vespera Revelation, a science fiction series exploring deep-space exploration, artificial intelligence, and humanity's first true step beyond Earth.
