Description

What happens when a computer glitch sends eighty-nine copies of the same scientist (and no one else) to settle a new planet? Or a privateer gets stranded on a slow ship he tried to hijack that’s still years away from its destination and has no food?

BRAVE NEW WORLDS presents fifteen original stories that follow humanity’s long dream of traveling to the stars, from heart-wrenching departures from Earth, through the unknown dangers of the long flight through the cold vastness of space, to the immigrants’ final arrival on an alien world. Perhaps your father has signed you up for life on a gen ship before you’ve even graduated high school. Or maybe you’ve arrived at a gloriously green new planet…only to have it shoot you out of the sky when you try to land. Or worse yet, your attempts to terraform your new home have all failed. What do you do then?

Join Jamie Boyd, Gini Koch, Mike Jack Stoumbos, Stephen Leigh, A.M. Giddings, Auston Habershaw, Sarah Lyn Eaton, Ian Tregillis, Jack Nicholls, Willa Blythe, Chaz Brenchley, Ari Officer, Eric Choi, Jacey Bedford, and Juliet Kemp in the latest anthology from Zombies Need Brains, BRAVE NEW WORLDS, as they explore the infinite challenges of humanity’s race to the stars!
