Book number one of a one book science fiction series. One hopes that
there will be sequel book or two. I read the well printed and well bound
MMPB published by Baen in 2024 that I bought new on Amazon.

For Jason Graham, the world ends not with a bang, not even with much of
a whimper. One second, herCOs sitting in a restaurant in Mobile, Alabama, chatting with a server, the next he finds himself in a strange room,
rescued by mysterious alien benefactors. Seems the world did end, though
how and why are something of a mystery as their robot benefactors claim
to be the good guys in this.

Now, Jason, and five hundred million other humans, are in orbit in a
huge space station around an Earthlike world that is abundant in natural resources and totally untamed. For the newly awakened humans, this is a
chance to start society with a clean slate and a bright future. For
Jason, who has knocked about aimlessly in several different careers in
his Earth life, itrCOs an opportunity to unleash his creativity and
ambition and see what he can really do.
