✶ Indie Ink Awards winner, 2023 ✶
✶ A heart-warming space adventure – 'Red Dwarf' meets 'Lost in Space' ✶
With Earth in crisis, and his life on the rocks, Jordan Booth reckons a one-way sleeper ticket to the stars sounds like a good idea. But humanity’s future is just about to take a wrong turn.
The Odyssey Earth colony ship is on a seventeen-year voyage – a straight shot to a new planet. On board, a handpicked, single-minded crew and a thousand settlers in hypersleep. No children, no families, no fuss.
That was the plan, anyway.
Captain Juno Washington commands a ship of loners and oddballs, assisted by an AI who thinks humans are mostly idiots. The teenagers of the Odyssey Earth didn’t ask to be born, and face an uncertain future. And Jordan Booth really didn’t want to be woken up early to look after them.
After an unexpected change of course, everyone needs to join forces if they’re going to survive. But Jordan is out of his comfort zone – and the tight-knit, whip-smart teenagers are in no mood to listen. Still, if they pull together and stop squabbling, they might all just make it.
Yeah, right. Good luck with that.
If you like character-led Sci-Fi with heart and humour, then you’ll love Orphan Planet. Perfect for fans of snappy dialogue, strong, relatable characters, slow-burn action, and coming-of-age, found-family adventures.
Follow the Odyssey Earth story across three galaxy-spanning books – Orphan Planet, Twin Landing, and Star Bound.
Genre: Science Fiction
