THEY WANTED
A TEST SUBJECT.
THEY GOT TY.

In 2002, Ty Walker went to a UFO conference in Las Vegas. He woke up somewhere he was never supposed to be—with one small dog, one damaged spacecraft, and no way home.

Lucas “Ty” Walker is a twenty-two-year-old UFO geek with a talent for media production, sarcasm, and being in the wrong place at exactly the wrong time. Luna is his nine-year-old dog, best friend, and the only member of the mission who appears to know what she’s doing.

Now they’re stranded inside a corporate space program built on secrets, surrounded by technology no one fully understands, and beginning to suspect that the mission was never really about exploration.

Passenger: Ty Walker
Unauthorized cargo: Luna
