200 years ago it devoured Earth. 20 years ago it devoured Gilgamesh. 2 weeks ago it entered our dreams. Al-Amir isn't just a spy, he's one of the best covert agents alive. At least, he was before everyone in the system started dreaming about him. Now his cover's blown and he's out of his depth, scrambling for answers to a mystery humanity has never been able to solve. The Goo. The great cosmic, planet-eating substance that swallowed whole systems. No one knows what it is or how it works, least of all Al, but the message is out there and time is running out. The Goo is shifting. Now, it's up to Al and his crew to investigate. With his life destroyed and desperation setting in, Al is forced to embark on a trip no sane person would dare. Al's search for answers risks everything as he seeks the key to humanity's survival and unlocks dark secrets of our existence. Join Al and his crew as they embark on the journey of a lifetime, exploring family, the pressures of expectation, failure, patience, and queer identity across an entirely new galaxy.
