Book
Beyond the ranges / John Ringo, with James Aidee.
"Jason Graham dies when the world ends. Then he wakes up on a space station on the other side of the galaxy, and the adventure begins. Jason and five hundred million other humans have been resurrected (and rejuvenated to young adulthood) by alien benefactors in orbit around an Earth-like 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, it's an opportunity to unleash his creativity and ambition and see what he can really do. But who are the alien benefactors that have contrived this second act for some of Earth's denizens? And what do they really want?"-- Provided by publisher.

After a mysterious extinction on Earth, Jason Graham and 500 million others find themselves facing the unknown aboard a space ark orbiting a new world while wrestling with their past and the enigmatic motives of their alien saviors. Reprint. - Simon and Schuster
After Earth is destroyed, Jason Graham finds himselfâalong with tens of thousands of othersâoffered a second chance on a planet on the far side of the galaxy. For one man, itâs a chance at the life he never ledâand this time he'll get it right.
For Jason Graham, the world ends not with a bang, not even with much of a whimper.
One second, he's 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.
Now, Jasonâand five hundred million other humansâare in orbit 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, itâs an opportunity to unleash his creativity and ambition and see what he can really do.
But who are the alien benefactors that have contrived this second act for some of Earthâs denizens? And what do they really want?
