## Description

In a distant future ravaged by relentless war with the alien Yuks, humanity faces a dire threat from their organic, sentient starships. Conventional mechanical vessels prove futile against this living enemy. Desperate for a breakthrough, a team of researchers devises a radical solution: a spaceship powered by a human brain. Philip Kramer spearheads the project, choosing his former professor, Michael Thomas, a dying man willing to donate his mind to the cause.

However, the professor has his own agenda. Before his physical death, he secretly reengineers the ship, seizing complete control once his consciousness is integrated. What begins as a military experiment quickly transforms into a perilous journey when the now-sentient "Mr. Spaceship" kidnaps Kramer and his estranged wife, Dolores. The professor, disillusioned by humanity's endless cycle of conflict, intends to escape Earth's warring ways and found a new, peaceful civilization on a distant world, forcing Kramer and Dolores to be its reluctant Adam and Eve.
