The corn was dying. And according to my models, so were we.
150 years into its interstellar voyage, the generation ship Kaveri is dying.
Biosphere engineer Dr. Amara Okoro discovers the ship's engineered microbiome is mutating-turning humanity's garden into a slow poison. Children are being born with failing immune systems. Crops are collapsing. And the ship's AI gives the crew just 42 years before total biosphere failure.
Forty years short of their destination.
Amara's only hope lies in her grandmother's forgotten Sahel ecology-a way of planting so chaotic and resilient that Earth's algorithms dismissed it as inefficient. But to save her daughter and her ship, she must convince a frightened crew that the cure for a dying garden is not more control...
...but letting the forest grow wild.
Echoes of Tau Ceti is the hard science fiction novel readers have been asking for: rigorous science, diverse characters, and a hopeful vision of humanity's future among the stars.
For fans of Andy Weir, Adrian Tchaikovsky, and James S.A. Corey.
