Slabscape: Reboot: Slabscape Book 3

Slab is three hundred and fifty years into its voyage home when the lights—and everything else—go out. With zero chance of rescue and no possibility that an alternative power source can be invented and deployed in time, most of the thirty-two million SlabCitizens choose to enter cryo suspension in the fragile hope that if and when they are defrosted, there will still be a slab worth living in. To make matters worse, Council have no option but to elevate self-proclaimed business gurulla Louie Drago to the presidency and leave him hypothetically in charge of a small band of suspiciously gifted people tasked with saving Slab.

Not everyone volunteers for the deep freeze. Several million escape in micro-form and the rest are herded into the one place they might survive in for more than a few days, while, as time-to-failure races erratically towards zero, the NAHs desperately seek help from the most improbable of places.

Louie only wants to save himself, but Dielle, who still can’t accept he is Louie’s reset, is on a mission to save his only Hope by making promises he’s pretty sure he can’t keep.

Meanwhile, but not meanwhen, the Cosmic Tit accidentally saves a space-bound life-form that eats moons for breakfast, and things are getting tense in California where, even though it’s been displaced into a virtually time-free discontinuity, there may be only a few ten to the trillion years left—and that might not be enough.

Slabscape: Reboot is the third in the Slabscape series.
