Following the reception of a signal, the interstellar long-haul ship 'Boucle de l'Infini' is diverted 12 years before reaching its destination, Cancri-B. Tierce, the AI piloting the ship, awakens five passengers selected for their specific skills, including biologist Tom Sezneck, to investigate the remains of a ship crashed on an asteroid. The vessel appears to be of 'humani' origin—a species genetically engineered by Homo Sapiens for deep space exploration, believed to have been extinct for 3,000 years. In this novel, Stéphane Desienne depicts the future of space exploration by pitting two humanities against each other: the 'Homo humanis' lineage, adapted to life in space, and the 'Homo sapiens', who remain tethered to gravity.
