There are 22 candidates. There are 12 seats. The last interstellar colony ship is down to its final batch of humans after the robots in charge unhelpfully deleted the rest. But rebooting a species and training them for the arduous task of colonisation isn' t easy - especially when the planet below is filled with monsters, the humans are more interested in asking questions than learning, and the robots are all programmed to kill each other. But the fate of humanity rests on creating a new civilization on the planet below, and there are twelve seats on the lander. Will manipulation or loyalty save the day?
"Had me fully on board in the first couple of pages, sticking with me long after finishing. " -- Frank Fleming, author of Superego * Frank Fleming * ' Breakwell' s examination of society is as precise and pointed as his humor, taking readers on a roller-coaster ride to a bittersweet conclusion. ' -- Publishers Weekly * Publishers Weekly *
