The generation ship "Willflower" is on a mission to colonise the stars. Crewed by only the cream of humanity, the best of the very best, its voyage will take several lifetimes and several generations to complete. But by the tenth generation things have gone wrong. Seriously wrong.
The captain is an irresponsible adolescent with a penchant for naming planets after bodily functions. The science officer is a religious zealot nutball, who responds to technical problems by singing hymns and whipping herself. The entire crew has lost the ability to read. And the ship is savagely damaged, out of control and on a deadly collision course with a grotesquely large planet.
The only man who can save them is astrophysical engineer Dr Piers Morton. And he has problems of his own. Like: he's not a doctor, he's not even Piers Morton, and all that's left of his body are his head, his spinal column and absolutely nothing else. Better yet, somebody on board is trying to kill what's left of him.
Because, although he doesn't know it, knowledge that can save the human race is locked in his brain. And the key is in the fabulous secret of the ship.
