Description
A genre-defying novel of science fiction and social realism, this story unfolds aboard a spaceship called Audition, where three giants—Alba, Stanley, and Drew—are trapped in the vessel’s largest room. Their fate is governed by a chilling rule: if they speak, the ship continues; if they fall silent, they grow—forcing them into an urgent, dangerous act of testimony. As they talk, they recover a shared memory of what was done to their former selves, confronting imprisonment, violence, and the slow stripping away of agency. With sharp attention to the machinery of power, the book interrogates the justice system’s promises and asks what it means when authority decides someone has “taken up too much room.” Pip Adam’s distinctive, high-impact style blends speculative invention with human stakes, delivering a haunting, propulsive meditation on voice, accountability, and survival.
