Requiem for an Astronaut
(2021)(The fourth book in the NP Novella series)
A Novella by Daniel Bennett
Thirty years ago, Joan Kaminsky disappeared during a test flight of an experimental spacecraft powered by alien technology. Now, the glowing figure of Joan has begun to appear in the skies above East City, becoming a focus for the anti-tech cults that wage war beyond the city walls.
After rejecting urban living and relocating to the badlands, Bart, a scientist who knew Joan and had worked on the experimental space programme, determines to solve the mystery of what happened, convinced that her manifestations are not random. When a young woman, Cal, arrives on his doorstep following an attack on a nearby organ farm, Bart has no idea of the danger she represents, nor that the encounter will bring him closer to solving the puzzle of the missing astronaut and her enigmatic reappearances.
Established short fiction writer Daniel Bennett makes his NewCon Press debut with this, the fourth volume in our NP Novella series: an intriguing SF adventure set in a dystopian near future.
