A wrecked starship. A dead man’s mind. In a desperate race across Mars, Maggie must unravel their secrets before the Tharks erase them forever.
The Extrapolated Man is a cinematic science fiction epic about the nature of sentience and identity.
Commander Gray died when his experimental ship crashed on Mars, but a recording of his memories survived. After Maggie discovers the wreck a century later, she becomes the target of a psychopathic rival intent on stealing it, and a hive of weaponized lifeforms bent on erasing its very existence.
To survive she must resurrect Gray and master his secret: his ship was capable of traveling faster than light, which makes it an incredibly valuable and terribly dangerous prize, for a starship is the ultimate weapon of mass destruction.
