Stranded in space and time, the few survivors of the colony ship Dolya struggle to build a home amongst the stars. --- Main inspirations: Classic sci-fi from Isaac Azimov, Larry Niven and Arthur C Clarke, but tempered by hard sci-fi such as The Expanse and Blade Runner and including big complex plot arcs as seen in God Emperor of Dune and Three Body Problem and including advanced key technologies as seen in Neuromancer and the Culture novels, while remaining grounded in realism. What to expect: - Survival on a harsh and unforgiving alien desert planet - Multiple main characters with their own desires, story arcs and motivations - Colony building and progression - Ethical dilemmas and deep philosophical issues - Clashes, drama and power struggles - Escalation: one small colony on a distant planet gets caught up in a plot that threatens the entire universe - The occasional illustration, some original from professional sci-fi concept artists, others AI generated and painted over
