Diese Serie entführt die Leser auf ein Raumschiff, das von strengen religiösen Gesetzen und einer patriarchalischen Gesellschaft beherrscht wird. Verfolgen Sie die Reise einer jungen Frau, die sich den Traditionen widersetzt und sich auf ein gefährliches Abenteuer begibt, um ihren Platz im Universum zu finden. Es ist eine packende feministische Science-Fiction-Saga, die Themen wie Glauben, Freiheit und Selbstfindung vor dem Hintergrund eines rauen, unversöhnlichen Kosmos erforscht.
"Ava, a teenage girl living aboard the male-dominated, conservative deep space merchant ship Parastrata, faces betrayal, banishment, and death. Taking her fate into her own hands, she flees to the Gyre, a floating continent of garbage and scrap in the Pacific Ocean. How will she build a future on an Earth ravaged by climate change?"--
Sound is the stand-alone companion to Alexandra Duncan's acclaimed debut novel Salvage, which was praised by internationally bestselling author Stephanie Perkins as "brilliant, feminist science fiction." For fans of Beth Revis, Firefly, and Battlestar Galactica. As a child, Ava's adopted sister, Miyole, watched her mother take to the stars, piloting her own ship from Earth to space making deliveries. Now a teen herself, Miyole is finally living her dream as a research assistant on her very first space voyage. If she plays her cards right, she could even be given permission to conduct her own research and experiments in her own habitat lab on the flight home. But when her ship saves a rover that has been viciously attacked by looters and kidnappers, Miyole, along with a rescued rover girl named Cassia, embarks on a mission to rescue Cassia's abducted brother, and that changes the course of Miyole's life forever. Harrowing, provocative, and stunning, Sound begins roughly a decade after the action in the author's critically acclaimed Salvage, and is a powerful stand-alone companion.
