Robert "Ike" Eisenbraun is a key player in a desperate effort to stave off an energy crisis that would mean the end of humankind. Ike helped design GOLEM, a supercomputer that will remotely operate equipment on the moon to mind helium-3, an important component in the production of fusion energy.

All goes well until the computer determines the mined isotope is unstable and takes it upon itself to jump-start a new mining mission to Jupiter's frozen moon, Europa. GOLEM selects six men and six women for the Omega Project -- including Ike's fiancée, Andria.

Has GOLEM gone rogue? Ike is charged with finding out -- he will join the Omega crew on a training mission beneath the Antarctic ice shelf aboard Oceanus, an underwater habitat. There the crew will spend the last thirty days of the prep cryogenically frozen.
