A colony application with a personal connection

Set against a proposed colony on Klandor, the second book in the Klandor Rising series centers on Lorraine’s application to join the settlement. Her aunt’s connection to the planet gives the decision personal significance, though Lorraine wants to be considered on her own merits. The selection committee’s apparent preference for young men also brings questions of gender and recognition into the premise. The description hints at a link to the past, while leaving its nature open.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in young adult fiction about technology and space-colony settings.
  • Readers who enjoy stories about applying to a new settlement and contending with perceived bias in selection.
  • Those who want to continue with Book 2 of the Klandor Rising series.

Book overview

Alpha Centauri and the planet AC4, now mysteriously known as Klandor, has particular meaning for her. Her aunt was part of the survey team there. In a sense she is still there.

 

When Lorraine applies to join the proposed colony, she is completely honest and factual in her responses to every question. But she doesn't make a point of highlighting the connection. She wants to be accepted on her own merits, and she doesn't like being labeled. And she really hates that the selection committee seems to think that young men are needed, but not young women, and most particularly not a self-opinionated librarian.

 

But what will be will be!

 

And a voice from the past has her say.

 

Klandor Endeavour is Book 2 in Klandor Rising. Book 1, Klandor Encounter is a finalist in the 2025 Realm Awards.
