As one of millions living on a generation ship, Jameson probably isn’t the only one to feel both oppressed and neglected. Still, he may have more reason than anyone to wonder if the world is out to get him. He's grown up the ward of a corrupt and incompetent regime, his father a political exile and his mother dead of mysterious circumstances. Even more than he suspects, however, events are unfolding that will test his will and his sanity. Jameson soon finds himself tangled up in a mysterious tragedy at his university. He will be cast into a journey to uncover the truth behind a conspiracy centuries in the making, whether he likes it or not. Along the way he will encounter ragtag revolutionaries, hard-luck journalists, and competing authorities. But there are still worse things that dwell in the many shadows of the ark, and Jameson isn’t the only one they are watching.
The first installment of this gritty sci-fi epic explores human nature and adversity in a story of casual conspiracy, cultural flux, political incompetence, and man-made monsters. Enduring, vibrant, characters find themselves caught between the death throws of the old world and the horrors of the new, struggling with the contradictions of their existence in this artificial society, hurtling through the deepest reaches of space.
