The Voyage of the White Cloud — Out Now!
My new standalone science fiction novel, The Voyage of the White Cloud, is out now in paperback, ebook and audiobook.
Can home be a place you’ve never been, a place no one has ever been?
The White Cloud is the most audacious experiment the human species has ever undertaken—to search for a new Earth. The ship and its crew exist for a solitary purpose—to reach a distant planet and establish a colony. However, the vast majority of people undertaking this journey will not live to see its result, nor were they part of the decision-making process to leave.
A novel-in-stories, following the many generations who make the journey, The Voyage of the White Cloud asks how you can find meaning as a slave to destiny, a mere stepping-stone in history.
These are the stories of the most ordinary people on a most extraordinary journey.
