Abstract:
Refugee, criminal, and linguist Sean Wren is made an offer he knows he can't refuse: life in prison, 'voluntary' military service -- or salvaging data in a long-dead language from an abandoned ship filled with traps and monsters, just days before it's destroyed in a supernova. Data connected to the Philosopher's Stone experiments, into unlocking the secrets of immortality. And he's not the only one looking for the derelict ship. The Ministers, mysterious undying aliens that have ruled over mankind for centuries, want the data -- as does The Republic, humanity's last free government. And time is running out. In the bowels of the derelict ship, surrounded by horrors and dead men, Sean slowly uncovers the truth of what happened on the ship, in its final days -- and the terrible secret it's hiding.
