Colonyship Geschichten

Earth was destroyed over eight hundred years ago. Before the cataclysm, hundreds of colony ships were sent in every direction throughout the galaxy. Each carry thousands of people in stasis pods, enough to start a new civilization on a distant planet. Crews of three on each ship link their minds with the ship's computer and search for a home while the rest of the populace sleeps. Everything had been normal on SearchLight 25. Even though they had scanned dozens of planets over the last eight centuries, each one more disheartening than the last, it had at least been a relatively quiet journey. But now there's a new planet. A planet that could finally be the one. All the previous disappointments could be put behind them once and for all. They just need this last scan to come back positive...

What would it take for you to give up everything you know and cross 500 years worth of the blackness of space to settle on a new, uninhabited planet? The search of adventure? The promise of a better life? The promise of a hefty salary right now? Or the chance to reinvent yourself completely? Earth's first colony ship, the Neo Kosmo, is set to depart with 10,000 passengers and crew: ordinary people on an extraordinary journey. Along with facing the unique challenges of settling a new planet, everyone on board must fight against their own fears in order to make sense of their new lives. This anthology explores their stories: the challenges, decisions, victories, and failures that mark the beginning of their new lives.

In the year 2345, the colony ship Godspeed is already well into her mission to Proxima Centauri B, and then her sister ship the Promise is detected heading their way, adrift and seemingly abandoned. Hayden Eldridge must uncover the secrets of their sister ship and discover the meaning behind the Thirteenth Star.

A young man finds out the truth of the true peril the colony ship is in.
