John Jefferson's fans will be thrilled with this captivating anthology of five short stories and a novella, set in the expansive universe of the Devistor series. Spanning over a millennium after the alien attack known as the Disaster-a cataclysm that nearly destroyed human civilization on the planet Neptu, which is connected to Earth via a hyperspatial portal-this collection fills the narrative gaps between the first four novels with gripping tales of survival, resilience, and discovery.
- A teenage girl thrust into leadership when her parents vanish under mysterious circumstances stumbles into a way to revolutionize the economy of her small atoll.
- A repairman whose homeland is destroyed by the Disaster while he's overseas servicing a client's equipment spends his days monitoring shortwave radio frequencies from around the world, hoping to hear a sign of life but unable to respond even if he does.
- A prominent son of a leading family is guided by a sentient computer known as Jessica to become an ordinary seaman and embark on a perilous voyage to save a distant land.
- An enigmatic cat appears on the island of Kragnor, playing a key role in the lives of those who are shipwrecked there as they work to create a new civilization
- A family fleeing oppression discovers a secret that unifies the fractured island of Baneirus.
- A man who awakens three thousand years after his birth grapples with his past as a sentient computer and the memories from that time that refuse to surface.
This collection showcases Jefferson's masterful storytelling, rich world-building, and his ability to explore humanity's enduring spirit in the face of unimaginable challenges. Whether you're a long-time Devistor fan or a newcomer to this universe, these stories will capture your imagination and inspire you to go deeper into this world.
