When humanity's last generation ship reaches a habitable new world, what happens if it's already occupied? A tense, high-stakes hard science fiction thriller of survival and fragile first contact, where empathy may be the only thing that keeps them human.
Eighty years in deep space. One chance at a new home.
Humanity's last remnants cross the stars aboard the generational ship Kepler, fleeing a dying Earth. Selected from millions for their brilliance, siblings Geoffrey and Caroline Arnold-Pointer join a crew of two thousand sent into the void, leaving everything behind for a future they may never live to see.
But the journey is a pressure cooker. Micrometeor strikes, disease, fires, and unrest turn survival into ruthless maths, where every decision saves some and costs others. Keeping the ship intact is hard enough. Keeping a society intact may be impossible.
When Kepler finally reaches a lush world the crew names Hacienda, hope fractures again. The planet is already home to an intelligent alien species, and first contact becomes a fragile test of empathy, fear, and restraint. With a rogue human faction pushing for conquest, one misstep could end humanity's only chance at a future.
Kepler's Children, book three of the Mindslip Universe, blends big ideas with intimate stakes as a new generation fights to keep hope alive without becoming the thing they fled.
