The book, written by Shannon Lentz with art by an extraordinary array of modern sci-fi comics’ greatest artists, is a unique reading experience — a single-story anthology that can be read as both a novel or as a collection of short stories that serve as windows into life in a far-flung colonized galaxy. Folks like Farel Dalrymple, Simon Roy, François Vigneault, and Dustin Weaver give it a unique, Euro-inspired look you may recall from the critically acclaimed Image Comics Prophet revival. Shannon’s experience with tabletop game world-building (he’s the founder of the Terminal City Tabletop Convention) and chemical science (his day job!) gives the book an absorbing, realistic lived-in environment that the book’s diverse chapters invite you to explore in depth.

And grounding our journey through daily life in Cayrels Ring, vignette by thrilling vignette, is the powerful overarching story of scientist Jamitch Taylee’s desperate, decades-long search for his missing family, and that of his granddaughter Nella, trying to eke out a life in the harsh conditions of that unforgiving frontier.
