A generational ship launched from a nearby star system, on a mission to settle somewhere on the other side of the galaxy. Guided only by their hope to find a new home in the far reaches of the Milky Way, they begin this 216-year journey knowing that they will not be alive to see the fruits of their labor. Their descendants will be the ones to break ground, and it will be up to them to decide if they share the same values as their ancestors. Filled with political intrigue and science fiction adventure, this nine-volume series explores humanity at its most extreme, for all its faults and flaws. It shows us who we are, and who we could be, even when thousands of light years from where we began.
Captain Halan Yenant leads a 216-year voyage to find a new home on the far side of the galaxy. No one presently on board will still be alive to realize their dream, but they press forward. Unfortunately, not everyone can agree on the choices to be made along the way, and some may be outright hostile...
Captain Kaiora Leithe, Third of Ten, takes her place as leader of the crew, and tries to maintain the peace amidst an ever-growing opposition, and a conspiracy to poison the passengers of the Extremus from within. Her list of allies will shrink as she has no choice but to question who she can still trust....
Tinaya Leithe, originally bound for command, finds her path diverted into the world of spycraft and politics. She begins a slow crawl to the top, and will find herself blocked at every turn, but her own self-doubt, and feelings of inadequacy. Can she prove her own worth, if only to herself?...
Stranded on alien world with a number of survivors, Tinaya steps up, and tries to find a way to get everyone back home, even if all that is waiting for her there are heartache and dread. Along the way, she may find herself finally realizing a career that she once thought ripped from her grasp, as well as a family to love...
In her final years, Tinaya Leithe continues to fight for the people of the ship, going up against sometimes unseen forces, and dreading a future that she may not be alive long enough to protect. She will have to trust that her actions in the past and present have set Extremus on the right course, and have also secured her legacy...
