Synopsis

Adrift in space, the UN Flagship Xochiquetzal had a mission: to save humanity. A mission that was left to the best and brightest. A single person who would make the trip across the stars, ensuring the vessel made it to the next habitable star system, seeding it with life, before continuing. But not everything could have been foreseen. And when it came down to it, human frailty was the weakest part of this ship.

I love the scifi in this. Both the idea of an embryonic seed ship and the ice shield that frames the opening action remind me of Songs of Distant Earth, which is a good place to be pulling from.
