Description
A luxurious starship carrying thousands of evacuees becomes a floating refuge after Earth is rendered uninhabitable by humanity’s own technological arrogance. As the ship is knocked off course and cast farther into the void, the passengers’ hopes fracture into distraction, grief, and moral reckoning—while the distance from home turns every promise of survival into a question of meaning. Blending epic science fiction with lyrical, cantos-driven intensity, this book examines what remains of human identity when history, community, and purpose are severed from their origin. Through themes of exile, collective responsibility, and the fragile boundary between progress and catastrophe, it offers a haunting “review of man in time and space” in the distinctive voice of Nobel laureate Harry Martinson.
