There is an artificial ring around the Earth and it is empty
after the Singularity. Either all the millions of
inhabitants are dead, or they have been transformed into
energy beings beyond human perception. Earth's population
was reduced by ninety percent. Human civilization on Earth
is now recovering from this trauma and even has a vigorous
space program.Apollo Papadopulos is in training to become
the captain of the starship Consensus. Apollo is a unique
individual in that he/she/it is not an individual at all,
but five separate teenagers who form a new entity. Strom,
Meda, Quant, Manuel, and Moira are a pod, as these kinds of
personalities are called, genetically engineered to work as
one and to be able to communicate non-verbally. As a rare
quintet, much relies on the successful training of Apollo,
but as more accidents occur, the pod members struggle just
to survive.
