Lord of the Flies meets Philip K Dick.

There are 22 candidates.There are 12 seats.

But the fate of humanity rests on creating a new civilization on the planet below, and there are twelve seats on the lander and killer robots all around.  Will manipulation or loyalty save the day?There are 22 candidates. There are 12 seats.

The last interstellar colony ship is down to its final batch of humans after the robots in charge unhelpfully deleted the rest. But rebooting a species and training them for the arduous task of colonisation isn’t easy – especially when the planet below is filled with monsters, the humans are more interested in asking questions than learning, and the robots are all programmed to kill each other.

But the fate of humanity rests on creating a new civilization on the planet below, and there are twelve seats on the lander. Will manipulation or loyalty save the day?
