● "A 4,000-year-old starship. A murdered crew. Can their world be brought under control before becoming lost to the void? Sean Freeman is a young scholar of antiquities living in the paradise world of Azure. However, he is disabled from a childhood injury and only on probationary status at his job, which limits his prospects in life. Sean is visited by a mysterious woman who leads him to a journal he must translate from ancient English, a 4,000-year-old dead language. The journal reveals that Azure is a generation colony starship hurtling through space without a crew. The government, the repressive People's Union, murdered them thousands of years ago. Moreover, he discovers that Azure will soon arrive at its destination, but without a crew, they are doomed to drift off into the void until Azure eventually explodes from lack of fuel." ― quoted from this book's Amazon product page as of 2024-12-16.
