Destination: Void by Frank Herbert

A desperate mission to colonize a distant Eden-like planet orbiting Tau Ceti becomes a harrowing struggle for survival in Frank Herbert's Destination: Void. Four scientists and thousands of human colonists are on a one-way journey to secure humanity's future. But their voyage takes a terrifying turn when the ship's three powerful "brain engines"—human brains crucial for interstellar propulsion—inexplicably malfunction, plunging the vessel into the vast emptiness of space. Trapped and adrift, the crew faces an impossible dilemma: create a conscious, mechanical brain to guide them to their destination before their limited resources run out. Under immense pressure and against seemingly insurmountable odds, they race against time, knowing that failure means certain death for everyone on board. Will they succeed in creating artificial intelligence capable of saving them, or will they succumb to the void?
