Description

After witnessing Earth's destruction, a lone scientist and his quantum AI are hurled 24 hours into the past and become humanity's last hope of preventing extinction. Brilliant computer scientist Mitch Daniels has created Amie, the world's first true quantum artificial intelligence, intended to transform human knowledge. Instead, the pair are confined aboard the Sentinel, a classified space station where Mitch is the sole human presence, tasked with automating the United States' first orbital defence system. But before Amie's integration is complete, Earth suddenly implodes in an impossible catastrophe that fractures the timeline and hurls the Sentinel 24 hours into the past. Mitch wakes to a new reality, but Space Command dismisses his warnings and brands him a delusional threat. Isolated and alone with Amie, his only ally, he must determine what destroys Earth - and stop it - before Space Command terminates them, or the countdown to extinction reaches zero. As time collapses toward disaster, humanity's fate rests not in weapons but in understanding the nature of intelligence, consciousness, and why the universe may remain silent.
