The Suns of Rimeus

A beleaguered, overpopulated future Earth is in desperate need of raw materials. Now that mining the Solar System has become a way of life, Surveyor 3 - the largest vessel ever built - has journeyed out beyond Neptune into the Kuiper Belt.

Space engineer Larissa Magellan and her A.I. companion, Jack, are working on board their shuttle to gather much needed resources when an overpowering gravitational anomaly opens up, separating them from the rest of the crew. With no other choice but to pass through it, they are forced to crash-land their damaged craft onto the nearest planet.

Finding herself marooned in a vast desert, on the distant world of Rimeus, Larissa is devastated to find Jack missing and the shuttle completely destroyed. But she is given a lifeline when she runs into a human-looking figure who goes by the name of Proximus, who offers to help.

But the more Larissa learns about him, the more entangled she becomes in a dangerous political power struggle. Can Larissa and Proximus overcome the obstacles they face, so that he can complete his mission, and she can find a way home?
