Enter biorobotics technology and the discovery of a planet the survivors can move to as biorobots.

In the movies, a hyperspace jump to a galaxy far away is an everyday affair. In colder reality, it takes an expedition from the solar system two millennia to traverse the 10 light years to the star Epsilon Eridani. A few centuries into the journey the fleet loses contact with Earth and drifts along in space as the loneliest human community of all time.

The Earth is dying. For centuries, the continents have been sinking into the oceans. What is left of them has turned into a burning desert. In the 24th century, the last humans live in tightly-packed domes. Outside, agonizing heat death awaits. But, there is a glimmer of hope: Lumera. The humans have founded a colony in another solar system and made a fragile peace with the Kidj'Dan, an alien race living there. But terraforming, which the telepathic aliens hope will help Earth's inhabitants, takes more time than Earth has.

They want to make a “triumvirate” with me. I ask what it does. They smirk. One whispers: “It makes babies.” If you’re from Eden and see a man, it doesn’t always taint you right away.

One of them claimed me in the airlock. The other kidnapped me. Now I belong to both of them. Well, I will belong to both of them, but Khetar custom says that the Second gets to have his turn alone with me first. That means I’m going to be alone with Tschenkar. At least until I get pregnant. But Tschenkar makes me nervous. I’ve never done anything alone with him, and now he’s going to get me all to himself each and every night. For our “honeymoon,” Tschenkar and I were supposed to land together in the city. Instead, we crash-land in Eden’s frozen wilderness.
