"To prevent the artificial intelligence known as Control from seizing crucial information that could destroy all sentient life, Commander Michael Burnham donned a time-travel suit and guided the USS Discovery into the future and out of harm's way. But something has gone terribly wrong, and Burnham has arrived more than nine hundred years out of her time, with Discovery nowhere to be found, and where the mysterious and cataclysmic event known as 'the Burn' has decimated Starfleet and the United Federation of Planets. With more questions than answers, Burnham must forge new friendships and new alliances if she hopes to survive this future long enough for the Discovery crew to find her."--Provided by publisher.
