Adrift in outer space, a motley crew of human-made objects tell their tales, making real history sweeter and stranger. Starman, a lovelorn mannequin orbiting the Sun in his cherry-red car, pines for his creator. The first sculpture ever taken to the Moon is possessed by the spirit of Neil Armstrong. The International Space Station, awaiting deorbit and burial in a spacecraft cemetery beneath the ocean, farewells its last astronauts. A team of tamponauts sets off on a perilous mission to Mars inspired by the courage of their predecessors.

As the human population fades away, one man decides to spend the rest of his life amongst the stars. He isn't trying to escape the extinction. He's trying to get away from something else.

RJ is an experienced astronaut. He's a veteran of several deep-space expeditions into the unknown, so he's ready for anything the universe might throw at him. Or, so he thinks. When their brand-new state-of-the-art starship suddenly begins to fail, RJ is left alone to save the mission from utter failure as the rest of the crew abandons ship. But once they're all gone, RJ finds himself alone with...something that wants to know him in ways he's not entirely sure about.
