LOST IN TRANSMISSION by WILL MCCARTHY
|
SummaryIn a novel that challenges our expectations at every turn,
acclaimed author Wil McCarthy sweeps us into the future as
only he can imagine it. Here is a thrilling odyssey of
discovery and adventure aboard a ship of exiled rebels
coming of age in an eternity that may be a lot shorter than
anyone ever guessed.Brash and idealistic, they were rebels
without a cause in a world governed by science,
reason...and immortality. Banished for their troubles to
the starship Newhope, they now face a bold future: to
settle the worlds of Barnard's Star. Now King Bascal Edward
de Towaji Lutui, former prince of the Queendom of Sol,
together with Captain Xiomara "Xmary" Li Weng and her
lover, first mate Conrad Mursk, face a perilous voyage with
thousands of their fellow exiles. The journey will last a
century, but with Queendom technology it's no problem to
step into a fax machine and "print" a fresh, youthful
version of yourself. But what this crew of rebels will find
is far from the paradise they seek. Before long, their
optimistic young colony has started to show signs of
strain. And worst of all, death itself has returned with a
vengeance.
