Publisher's Synopsis
Astronaut Dave O'Brien blasted into space in the year 2052, bound for Titan, Saturn's moon. His mission: to land and scout for minerals fast becoming scarce on Earth. En route, a fuel leak puts his life in jeopardy. The only option? A never-tried emergency procedure. "Dave, I am going to implement Van Winkle in 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1," the computer voiced. Gas was pumped into his space capsule, putting him into an induced coma. Dave was entombed in dry ice as a last resort. Mission Control had no rescue plan. So Dave sleeps and drifts endlessly in outer space. David O'Brien wakes in the year 2125, hearing an advertisement for Sony-Augi-Google's new model of factory-made babies ringing dream-like in his ears. When he is fully awake, the modern man with a big head and seven fingers tells him: "We now have the technology to save your life. Then we need YOU to save the world." Dave's strange adventure is just getting started....
