Description
Fear is the first country. . .
On the great generation ship Adrastos, humanity's final ark, Faran and his wife Yaal are just trying to hold on to each other and to the last ray of hope that their unborn child might see something beyond the close horizon of the ship itself. But Faran is battered by a sourceless fear. Perhaps it has something to do with the megalithic telescope he passes every day without ever actually looking through its lens. What would he see if he could put his eye to it—to whatever it is that the ship's optimistic leaders are constantly watching?
Author’s Statement:
We, the Daunted was written in a breathless burst of artistic energy and caution-to-the-wind societal questions. Part big ideas sci-fi, part absurdist polyphony, it dramatizes humanity’s futile attempts to transcend its own limits while celebrating our inexhaustible willingness to dream of something better. At its heart is the story of a marriage—one built on a fainthearted kind of love that will nonetheless outlast any ordeal and prove itself stronger than any form of entropy.
Praise for We, the Daunted:
“...Reichard is attuned to the vastness of space and the smallest movements of the human soul.” —Mark Kissler
