The Write Reads Blog Tour Book Review: HomeAdrift by Soheil Mirchi













How far can you go before the silence breaks you?

Commander Solene Ellis has left Earth behind forever. Now she drifts through the void aboard the colony ship Nia Kvara, watching over 100,000 colonists in hibernation. Only Ava, the ship’s AI, keeps her company.

The voyage spans 3,000 years, but for Solene, time comes in fragments—fleeting moments of wakefulness between long, frozen sleeps. Hours blur into decades. Memories unravel. In the stillness, she begins to lose track not only of time, but of herself.

And solitude in deep space doesn’t stay quiet for long. Whispers echo where no one should be. Shadows shift just beyond her vision. A mysterious vessel appears in the void. Even Ava starts to act… strangely.

As reality fractures, Solene must face a terrifying is something out there hunting them—or has her own mind become the true threat?

For readers of literary science fiction, space horror, and character-driven psychological drama, HomeAdrift is a story of isolation, survival, and what it means to find home when there's nowhere left to go.

WTF. This book is a complete mind fuck. There’s not much else I can say. The writing is excellent and it absolutely terrified me. Probably because the very premise of this story is to leave Earth behind f-o-r-e-v-e-r and travel out into the great unknown with just hopes and dreams that they’ll be able to colonize another planet. A planet, oh by the way, that is over 3,000 Earth years away! You get put in hibernation to survive the journey and wake up when you’re there. Or so you hope! Gah! Then there’s the Commander, who has to keep dipping in and out of hibernation because someone has to maintain the ship between jumps. No thank you. With a side helping of fuck that. Like I said, it terrified me. Lol But that means the writing is *chef’s kiss*!

However, the ending completely befuddled me. Wtf just happened? I don’t like being left with this feeling that I completely missed the whole purpose of the plot. So, I hate the way this book concluded. If there was a point being made, it went completely over my head. And I’m left unsatisfied.

Apologies for this being so late past the tour. Real life can be so rude.




The world is overwhelming. The lives we chase, the norms we follow, the time we waste, and the dreams we forget. I write to process. To understand. To make sense of it all.
I write because I run into walls—again and again. Walls that stop me from speaking, from connecting.
So I write. It's how I find my way through.
My debut novel, HomeAdrift, is a story of isolation, identity, and survival—told through the lens of space, but rooted deeply in the human need for home.
