What if your memories weren’t your own?

For readers of Wool (Hugh Howey), The Memory Police (Yōko Ogawa), and Station Eleven (Emily St. John Mandel), Ellipso is a saga of memory and identity that blends the cruelty of dystopia with the sensitivity of human trauma.

Science fiction that both hurts and heals.

Olivia Sarven has always trusted the fragments of her life on Ellipso. Until the day cracks forbidden zones no one mentions, truths erased from every record and whispers of a past. As she follows the hidden thread of her identity, Olivia realizes she is not alone. Her awakening sparks a dangerous rebellion to restore what was stolen from an entire people.

Step into the Ring. Dare to remember.

This omnibus unites Episodes 1–5 of the ELLIPSO saga.

Their 125-year journey was a promise. Now, trapped in the void, it's a death sentence—thanks to their own Chief Engineer.

A massive explosion cripples the UNCS Jens Andersen's life support and leaves the vital radiation shield dysfunctional, turning the long colonization voyage into a guaranteed killer for the hundreds aboard. Their doom is fixed: a lethal stellar flare is hurtling directly toward their flight path.

Brilliant but rebellious engineering cadet Erin devises the only audacious solution that can save them. But Chief Engineer Manik—a man wrestling with severe PTSD and career-crushing imposter syndrome—sees her radical plan as a personal indictment of his authority and a permanent stain on his career.

Manik's internal anguish quickly escalates. Rather than admit his own failure to prevent the disaster, his obsession with stopping Erin's solution transforms him from a professional opponent into a desperate, violent saboteur. He skulks between decks, attacking personnel, and laying traps designed to doom the entire ship.

Can Erin outwit the brilliant engineer consumed by his own inner demons and repair the radiation shield before the Andersen's last hope—and its last chance at colonization—is destroyed by a man determined to save himself from his past?

If you enjoy these books, you'll love Defiance:

Fans of The Expanse's morally complex characters and Martha Wells' damaged-but-brilliant protagonists will find themselves at home aboard the Andersen.

Those who enjoyed Andy Weir's work will appreciate Defiance's focus on scientific problem-solving under extreme pressure, echoing both Project Hail Mary and The Martian.

Becky Chambers fans of To Be Taught, If Fortunate will appreciate the focus on the crew's interpersonal dynamics under pressure. A Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet has the same found-family feeling of a diverse crew on a long journey through space.

Recommended for adults and mature teens.
Content advisory: Contains violence and mature psychological themes. Reader discretion is advised.

Miyako Redux is the second book in the Glow Trilogy, following Proxima’s Gift, both of which take place in Japan several hundred years in the future after an apocalyptic event has killed most of the global population. In the first book we met the Children of Proxima, a community of people who have developed a new organ in the bodies that gives them the true sense of empathy, a gift they call the Glow. They live in utopian hamlets known as Hahanokuni, the Motherland. The story, which takes place over the course of a single year, focuses on a young woman named Azami who is struggling to control her overly powerful glow.
In Miyako Redux, the scene shifts to Miyako, a large town populated by Dims—surviving humans who have not developed the glow. The story, which takes place over the course of a single month, is a complex tale involving multiple people’s storylines that weave together over the course of the book. There is a community of creative artisans who have developed a collective social network in the east of Miyako, led by the kindly grandfather-figure, Noah. Goro, a savage warlord and his people who occupy the ancient castle of the town and rule their surroundings by force. The Medusaites, a cult of impoverished newcomers who worship the creature in the Tower of Light as a mystical deity, led by the charismatic monk, Keizen. And of course, Azami and Choki who make their way from Hahanokuni to Miyako to seek out the Whitewoman who was responsible for both of their mothers’ disappearance, only to get caught up in the power machinations taking place there. Over the course of the story, all of these people get inexorably drawn to the Tower of Light, which lies at the heart of each of their destinies.
