Short
Summary of the book:
They set out in probes to reach the edge of
the universe and beyond. To find a planet that could sustain life. Stocked with
seedlings of earth, people asleep and awake, and human embryos they looked for
a better world. Would they find it?
What
I liked about the book:
We followed several of the probes and
characters from the first book.
What
I didn’t like about the book:
I must admit, I found it a little confusing
during the first few chapters.
My
favourite bits in the book:
The book was an enjoyable read once you got
the thread of things.
My
least favourite bits in the book:
To tell you, would be a bit of a spoiler. I
had wanted something different for some of the characters.
Any
further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?
This is the second book I’ve read by this
author and I’m sure there is space for more in this series.
What
books could this be compared to and why?
This is a science fiction novel.

Description by Author:
One ship, Probe 19, could restart life on
Earth. They had searched for thousands of years; and they had found it. It
wasn't one ship, however, it was nineteen. On the Dark Satellite beyond
Neptune, they worked to copy the life they had found, to make lifespaces to
hold it. To grow it. But they weren't returning to Earth. They were leaving.
Nineteen starships, spiral lifespaces containing facsimile strips of Earth were
heading out of the Solar System. Scientists had conquered sleep and extended
human lifespans. Could they find new homes? Could they survive the deep black
of the universe? None of them knew their destinations, but they had the
Svalbard life data, human embryos, and fifteen thousand living dreamers. They
had a chance. Humankind had nineteen chances.
