In this riveting, stand-alone novel from Michael Mammay, author of Planetside, the beginning of a new human colony must face tyrannical leaders, revolution, crippling instability, and an unknown alien planet that could easily destroy them all.

In 2108, Colony Ship Voyager departed Earth for the planet of Promissa with 18,000 of the world’s best and brightest on board. 250 years and 27 light years later, an arrival is imminent.

But all is not well.

The probes that they’ve sent ahead to gather the data needed to establish any kind of settlement aren’t responding, and the information they have received has presented more questions than answers. It’s a time when the entire crew should be coming together to solve the problem, but science officer Sheila Jackson can’t get people to listen.

With the finish line in sight, a group of crewmembers want an end to the draconian rules that their forebearers put in place generations before. However, security force officer Mark Rector and his department have different plans. As alliances form and fall, Governor Jared Pantel sees only one way to bring Voyager’s citizens together and secure his own power: a full-scale colonization effort. Yet, he may have underestimated the passion of those working for the other side…

Meanwhile, a harsh alien planet awaits that might have its own ideas about being colonized. A battle for control brews, and victory for one group could mean death for them all.

Staff review

Generation Ship
by Michael Mammy
Review by Josh

A dense and wildly engaging political thriller wrapped up in a well-crafted Sci-Fi package. The crew of the Voyager are in a time of social upheaval as they approach their planetary destination. While some see this colonisation opportunity as a time for strength and unity, others worry what it will mean for the ship they’ve called home for so long and their place on it. Told through multiple points of view, Generation Ship is a tale of community, power and the resilience of humanity with a cast of character that will keep you coming back for more. For fans of James S.A. Corey’s The Expanse series, Artifact Space, and A Memory Called Empire.
