Jane Colt races across an unfriendly and uncertain galaxy in hopes of saving her missing boyfriend and clearing her falsely convicted brother’s name.
Jane's boring life is upended when she witnesses the sudden kidnapping of Adam, the young man she loves, but is unable to report it due to a well-constructed cover-up. The next day her brother Devin is framed for murder. Her trust in the authorities shaken, she leaves behind everything she knows to go on the run with him in search of the truth. With little more than a cocky attitude, she sets off into the most lawless corners of the galaxy, tangling with irreverent hackers, ruthless thugs, and the powerful tech corporation that may be at the center of it all. As she uncovers secrets about artificial intelligence, she must decide whom to trust in a galaxy where anything can be faked and nothing is as it seems. The journey becomes more personal as truths are revealed about both Adam and Devin, leading Jane to wonder just how much she doesn’t know about the people she loves.
"Astral Sea: The Pandora Project" is told from multiple POVs and explores the thoughts, interactions, and backstories of the characters as their once ordinary lives are thrown into disarray.
