Description:

The colony world of Jericho has fallen; its population slaughtered by rampaging hordes of self-replicating machines. Only the quick and the fortunate have escaped the nightmare. The last ship to leave Jericho is the passenger vessel Caleuche: crewed by a rag-tag band of refugees, controlled by the mind of a murder victim. Now they face a desperate struggle for survival as they flee their shattered world, pinning their hopes on one small chance of reaching safety. But their situation is more dire than they know. For they are not alone, out there in the darkness.
