"Four Scientists and a Human Cargo of Thousands
They were headed toward a planet circling the far distant Tau Ceti-a ripe Eden world waiting to be plucked for the future of the human race. But three fourths of the way through the Solor Stystem, their ship failed: its propelling engines and three all-powerful human brains had suddently, quite inexplicably gone mad.
They were trapped in space, at the mercy of the ship, and there was only one possible solution for survival-to create a "conscious" mechanical brain able to guide them to their destination.
But would there be enough time before they plunged into oblivion-for they were working with limited resources, under unbearable pressure...and against impossible odds."
