Description: When Joel Johnston first met Jinny Hamilton, it seemed like a ì dream come true. And when she finally agreed to marry him, he ì felt like the luckiest man in the universe. There was just one ì small problem. He was broke. His only goal in life was to become ì a composer, and he knew it would take years before he was earning ì enough to support a family. But Jinny wasn't willing to wait. And ì when Joel asked her what they were going to do for money, she ì gave him a most unexpected answer. She told him that her name ì wasn't really Jinny Hamilton - it was Jinny Conrad, and she was ì the granddaughter of Richard Conrad, the wealthiest man in the ì solar system.

And now that she was sure that Joel loved her for herself, not ì for her wealth, she revealed her family's plans for him - he ì would be groomed for a place in the vast Conrad empire and sire a ì dynasty to carry on the family business. Most men would have ì jumped at the opportunity. But Joel Johnston wasn't most men. To ì Jinny's surprise, and even his own, he turned down her generous ì offer and then set off on the mother of all benders. And woke up ì on a colony ship heading out into space, torn between regret over ì his rash decision and his determination to forget Jinny and make ì a life for himself among the stars. He was on his way to ì succeeding when his plans - and the plans of billions of others - ì were shattered by a cosmic cataclysm so devastating it would take ì all of humanity's strength and ingenuity just to survive.
