But when a strange extortion attempt targets the ship's leader, that idyllic façade begins to crack. And when SANDRINE LIET, the introvert Archivist tasked with investigating the case starts poking around – the prime suspect mysteriously disappears.
Nobody disappears on the Thetis.
Sandrine is pulled into a web of intrigue and deception, sending her on a direct collision course with the most powerful people on the Thetis. Every step she takes, her suspicions of a grand and far-reaching conspiracy grow - as are the personal consequences for her future if she keeps pursuing the investigation.
The THETIS is a huge multigenerational spaceship carrying the last of humans from Earth. They’re traveling a mega long distance to settle on another planet and hopefully prosper. The problem is it takes multiple generations to get there. The very thought of how large this ship is and how far they have to travel just blows my mind.
The story centers around Sandrine Liet, an Archivist who is not only very good at her job, she loves it. However, she becomes involved in a conspiracy that seems unfathomable to Sandrine. The whole purpose of the THETIS is to NOT repeat the failures and mistakes of past Earth and the reason they are out there to begin with. Society is supposed to be fair, tolerant, and cooperative with everyone having a job to do. There is not supposed to be one person or several people raised above the others. And yet, here she is, uncovering what could be the biggest scandal to ever develop on the ship, a possible rotten barrel of apples in the Garden of Eden. Should she put her head down and tow the line? Or should she dig and find out what, if anything, is going on? Even if it means losing everything she holds dear?
This is an intricate plot with many twists and turns that keep it moving forward at a good clip. With a great cast of characters and an intriguing mystery to solve, the story propels the reader along and keeps one guessing about what will happen next. Will humans repeat the mistakes of the past or will they have evolved enough on this journey to leave all the bullshit behind? You’ll have to read to find out. If you like political intrigue with your sci-fi then I highly recommend this book.
