Synopsis
Stranded in space and time, the few survivors of the colony ship Dolya struggle to build a home amongst the stars.
---
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 and exploration on a harsh and unforgiving alien desert planet
- Colony building and development
- Multiple main characters with their own desires, story arcs and motivations
- Rational decision-making and a deep but logical plot
- Ethical dilemmas and philosophical issues
- Factions, clashes, drama and power struggles
- The occasional illustration, some original from professional sci-fi concept artists, others AI generated and painted over
