I enjoyed the diversity of all the characters, the

Outstanding
This is a great story. Parts reminded me of the Practical Darwinists in Anne MacGaffrey's brain ship series, but with a bit of apocalyptic zombie-like background thrown in for atmosphere. Well worth the read. ...more

I recently read the short story, The Darwin Protocol, by Daniel M. Quilter, and it was a fun read with an interesting idea about the future. Lily wakes up aboard the Pax Britannica with the alarms blaring and a computer voice telling her The Darwin Protocol has been activated.
The story that follows is one of discovery as Lily and the others who survived the landing must find out why they were chosen and if their ship is still intact with the other survivors.
