Sure, it LOOKS like one on the surface - but at the core of it, this is a whiny annoying book about a whiny annoying woman who is emotionally stuck in one of the most pathetic romantic relationships to be committed to paper. I am a big fan of sci-fi and post-apocalyptic novels. And Jamie’s own journey home will help her close the distance between who she has become and who she is meant to be. But their dream will pit them against those desperately clinging to the old ways. Soon Jamie finds other survivors, and their ragtag group will travel through the vast reaches of space, drawn to the promise of a new beginning on Earth. Until a garbled message from Earth gives her hope that someone from her past might still be alive. Now Jamie finds herself dreadfully alone, with all that’s left of the dead. And when a long relationship devolved into silence and suffocating sadness, she found work on a frontier world on the edges of civilization. Even though she wasn’t forced to emigrate from Earth, she willingly left the overpopulated, claustrophobic planet. In a breathtakingly vivid and emotionally gripping debut novel, one woman must confront the emptiness in the universe-and in her own heart-when a devastating virus reduces most of humanity to dust and memories.Īll Jamie Allenby ever wanted was space.
