The World Always Begins in Light
(2022)(A book in the Lost Colonies series)
A Novella by Jay Lake and Ruth Nestvold
The prequel to Second Contact, new science fiction by award winning writers Ruth Nestvold and Jay Lake!
Sharan never wanted to be fleeing for her life on a foreign planet. But when Arnoldson leads a mutiny and takes over the ship, that is exactly where she finds herself.
She never wanted to betray Polity Force Protocols either — only, in order to survive, she doesn’t have a choice. While Arnoldson attempts to become a god, Sharan assists the rebels fighting him. Will they be successful? And even if they are, will Sharan ever be able to go home again?
Praise for the fiction of Jay Lake and Ruth Nestvold: “The best science fiction stories are a blend of both fascinating concepts and interesting characters and their interactions. ‘The Canadian Who Came Almost All the Way Home From the Stars’ is one of the better such offerings this reader has come across in a while.”
