Chrysopteron
by
Michael K. Rose
Book Description:
Captain
John Hayden, haunted by memories of war and still grieving the death of his
wife, is about to embark on the most important mission of his career: to
discover the fate of the Chrysopteron,
one of five generation ships which left the Earth centuries earlier. The descendants
of the Chrysopteron’s original crew
had successfully colonized their planet, but less than a hundred years later,
all contact was lost. Hayden knows that a mysterious new religion which was
formed aboard the ship may have played a role in determining the fate of the
colonists, but there is no way to know what he and his crew will find when they
finally arrive.
In
a story that touches on issues of faith and self-determination, Chrysopteron explores the fundamental
elements that define our species. Even though we may leave the Earth, we cannot
leave behind that which makes us human.
