brief_description
Jaybee Corbell awoke after more than 200 years as a corpsicle -- in someone else's body, and under sentence of instant annihilation if he made a wrong move while they were training him for a one-way mission to the stars. He escapes beyond the fabric of space and time, returning to an Earth 3 million years older and far more perilous.
