Description:
In a doomed galaxy, a supermassive black hole ejects an asteroid at tremendous speed into empty space.
On a distant planet, many eons later, intelligent life is just beginning to bloom when the asteroid passes only a hair's width away, triggering ecological catastrophe: earthquakes, tsunamis, releases of gas and climate change. Life stubbornly clings to existence, but must find a new way to persist.
Across the ages on this planet, men and women of all stripes - farmers and merchants, scientists and soldiers, slaves and explorers, must all find a way to survive as the asteroid of Tyo scrambles lives, empires, faiths and even history itself. They strive to build a future and grapple with the meaning of their planet's curse.
