Equipped with the entirety of human knowledge, a sentient ship is launched on a last-ditch journey to find a new home for civilization. Trillions of miles. Tens of thousands of years. In the space between, the AI has plenty of time to think about life, the vastness of the universe, everything it was meant to do, and—with a perspective created but not limited by humans—what it should do.

Light-years from home, it’s Ira’s second chance. Just another anonymous student at a space station university. Not the orphan whose Earther heritage was erased.

The universe is so vast, there’s always room for hope.

Traveling faster than light, the transport ship Redundancy is cut off from communication as effectively as an ancient ocean liner.

For Tornado, who left a normal life behind, a little company can be life-changing.

На отдаленных планетах всегда требуются люди. Если ты не специалист и не хочешь стать пушечным мясом в войнах с чужими, то выбор прост: или прозябаешь на Земле, работая от заката до рассвета за копейки, либо летишь к новой планете. Там у тебя шансы 50 на 50. Не повезет—умрешь от клыков и когтей диких животных, или будешь убит более удачливыми коллегами. Ну а если повезет—станешь вполне себе респектабельным и уважаемым человеком в новом, строящемся мире. Мире, который строил в том числе и ты.

The novel is best known for its notion that a voluntary order of nobility known as the Samurai could effectively rule a "kinetic and not static" world state so as to solve "the problem of combining progress with political stability".

This segment of my Breakfast Planet series isn’t about Space Force it’s more about a comet and all the things it sees.
