About this audiobook
Alice Fournier survived a war Earth was still fighting when a stranger offered her a way out: permanent, monitored, two hundred and thirty years long. Chosen as security for humanity's first colony ship to Alpha Centauri, she wakes on a world lit by two suns, with no rulebook and threats nothing in her training prepared her for. As the colony's charter strains under drought, violence, and a vote that could split it in two, Alice has to decide what she's actually defending: the mission, the people, or the parts of herself she carried out of a war she never stopped fighting. A hard science fiction novel about survival, complicity, and what home means when its light takes years to reach you.
