Are you so sure you're the painter, and not the painting?
Micah has a hangover, a looming deadline, and a very opinionated rat following him around the orbital station. No one else can see it-which is definitely not ideal.
Outside, the wealthy are fleeing Earth on seed ships. Inside, Micah's team has days to perfect their gene-editing tech, or be left behind. On top of that, Micah's unsure if reality is taking an extended vacation, or if his brain has finally short-circuited.
Equal parts absurdly funny, sharp-edged, and human, Transition explores the events that started The Narrator Cycle. Long before Nicholas, Dorothy, and Charon, there was Micah, a dying earth, a talkative rat, and a question-is reality such a fixed thing?
