One Small Step

Intergalactic travel. A dying friend. An out of control computer.
 

Will Brock survive? His life hangs in the balance when he makes the catastrophic decision to remodify himself. Death looks certain—until Lara and Nigel decide to use unconventional methods to try to save him.
 

Lara will travel inside Brock's mind to find out why he's dying. What she finds there will explain what made Brock the person he is. It will also change Brock's life forever—as long as he survives the experience!
 

At the same time, Sally and Tyrone are sent to the CEAK (Close Encounters All Kinds) Institute to help their scientists on a mission. CEAK has developed a new technology called Jumpspace.
 

it can transport people across the galaxy in the blink of an eye. There's just one problem. The first expedition sent to another world has not returned.
 

A rescue mission to save the expedition will pit Sally and Tyrone against their greatest adversary yet—a computer with a hatred of all living things. If Sally and Tyrone don't succeed, the galaxy will remain permanently closed to humankind forever!
