Record of a Spaceborn Few

Synopsis

Centuries after humanity’s exodus from Earth, the Exodus Fleet endures as a mobile, self-sufficient community, a living relic where tradition and innovation often collide. While most of humanity has integrated into the wider galactic community, those who remain on the Fleet cherish their unique way of life, now facing existential questions. Tessa, who chose to stay behind when her brother left for the stars, finds her position threatened as external pressures mount. Young apprentice Kip yearns for change but is unsure how to initiate it, while Sawyer, a lost newcomer, seeks a sense of belonging in this insular world. When an unexpected disaster strikes the already fragile Fleet, its inhabitants are forced to confront an inescapable question: What purpose does a ship serve when it has already reached its destination? This novel explores themes of identity, belonging, community, and the evolving definition of 'home' in a universe vastly larger than imagined.
