Starship Exodus
Earth is dying. The sun is expanding ahead of schedule, and humanity has one chance: the Exodus, a generation ship carrying two million souls toward a distant star. Captain Zara Okafor was born to lead this mission—third generation spacer, decorated pilot, the youngest captain in Fleet history. But when a saboteur destroys their navigation systems three months into the journey, the Exodus is stranded in the void between stars. With dwindling resources and a crew on the edge of panic, Zara must hold civilization together while hunting for the traitor in their midst. The journey was supposed to take two hundred years. Now it might take forever. In the darkness between stars, humanity will discover what it truly means to survive. Technology and its consequences shape every aspect of this world. The story asks questions about what humanity becomes when science pushes past current boundaries. The vastness of space provides both opportunity and isolation, with interstellar travel opening doors to wonders and dangers on a cosmic scale.
