In this science fiction sequel to The Path, the crew of a ship bound to colonize another planet must first save the universe from a deadly entity.

Life has changed for computer wrangler Simon Bank when he awakens from a hundred-year coma. To start, he's on board a massive spaceship on a mission to colonize Alpha Centauri B. The crew includes his former adversary Cramer, a computer entity named Ra (now in a human form and going by Aten), and a telepathic dog named Zip. Everyone believes Simon is a hero, and there's no time to disagree . . .

Simon accidentally awakened a powerful entity that believes human life to be a virus worthy of annihilation. Before it destroys all life on Earth and the spaceship, Simon must find a way to stop it. Once again, Simon must rely on his computer skills and his motley group of friends to save the universe before his crew finds themselves on a journey to nowhere . . .
