Description

Earth has survived an alien virus in this post-apocalyptic story. The alien virus was used to cleanse the planet before harvesting, and the surviving humans were given thousands of spaceships and robots as war reparations. The few survivors must adapt to survive.
There is an unexplored Galaxy beyond their solar system. They must be wary of both their neighbors and an evil computer named Julius. Julius was an intelligent computer unleashed during the viral attack. He was programmed to deal with the two threats to his existence, SIMPOC, another intelligent computer programmed to help humans, and the remaining humans. Joan Herl and her husband Tom commandeer an alien ship to follow Julius. Julius has stolen an alien ship seeking resources so that he can deal with SIMPOC and the survivors.
Julian knows that he must build up his arsenal so he can deal with the threats to his existence. He captures a very import human, but he doesn't know who he is!
