AlbakiReads Editorial

A generation ship divided by a discovery

In this second installment of the Arkship trilogy, the repaired Daedelus remains a world in transit—and a contested home. Hazel’s discovery that the alien Yi live aboard the ship puts her at odds with people in power who resist what the truth could mean for their authority. Her journey into Daedelus’s far reaches shifts the story from the ship’s political conflict toward the Yi’s plans for it. The setup brings together generation-ship survival, alien contact, and a struggle over who gets to shape humanity’s future, while continuing the events of *A Hole in the Sky*.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in generation ships and long journeys through space.
  • Readers who enjoy science fiction centered on alien contact and political conflict.
  • Readers following the Arkship trilogy, beginning with *A Hole in the Sky*.

Book overview

From an internationally bestselling author comes the second book in the sweeping, never before seen in paperback Arkship trilogy, perfect for readers of Adrian Tchaikovsky and Alastair Reynolds.

Their world lives on, but who will control it?

Hazel and the reawakened command AI have repaired Daedelus, the vast generation ship carrying the last of humanity on a centuries long journey to a new world. But can she convince her people of the truth she learned in the process? That humanity is not alone on Daedelus. That the Yi, an alien species, have made it their home.

But those in power don't want to listen if it means a challenge to their authority. So Hazel must travel again to the ship's far reaches, to learn what the Yi plan for Daedelus. What she discovers there is far more terrifying than a mere hole in the sky...
