Phillip Phillips wakes up aboard a military starship years removed from the world he’s being asked to remember.

The problem is he doesn’t remember it.

His identity says he belongs in the twenty-first century. His body carries evidence that supports it—and signs of surgeries no one can explain. While his memories are gone, some things remain: how to read a threat, how to fight, how to kill—and the uneasy certainty that none of it is new to him.

Before anyone can begin to answer who Phillip was or why he was left drifting in space, the ship is attacked. Cut off from help and trapped among enemies with motives he doesn’t understand, Phillip has to rely on instincts belonging to a man he can’t remember.

But something aboard the ship may know more about him than he does.

And when Phillip begins hearing a word no one can translate, the question is no longer simply where did he come from?

It’s what was he made for?

UNKNOWN FACTOR

Centuries can erase a man’s history.

It may not erase what he is.
