Description
Her mission was to find humanity a future. Instead, she may have to decide whether humanity deserves one.
Three days before astronaut Bryn launches on a solo mission to explore Caerus—a distant, habitable planet that may be Earth’s last hope—she discovers she is pregnant. If Star Force V finds out, she could lose the mission she has spent her life training for. So Bryn keeps the secret and finds herself aboard the Elpis, leaving behind her husband and an overcrowded planet running out of time.
But space brings truths Bryn was never meant to know. Her body begins to change, the ship’s AI becomes her only ally, and the people who sent her into the stars may have been hiding the real reason she was chosen.
Propulsive, intimate, and full of wonder, Home Planet is a story of identity, motherhood, power, and one woman’s fight to protect the people—and planets—she loves.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"Tiffany Nieslanik’s Home Planet is brilliant science fiction, and Nieslanik has a wonderful way of making technology feel natural aboard the Elpis, and a lot of that is down to the wit of the prose. [...] Well written and imaginative, readers who enjoy character-led science fiction will adore this." — Readers' Favorite
"Science fiction readers are in for a treat with Home Planet [...] [Readers] choosing Home Planet for their collections will find it a powerful saga of transitions and hope which imparts an uncommon flavor of women’s strengths into an ultimately uplifting saga, driven by an especially appealing character." — Midwest Book Review
"Home Planet grabs the reader and never lets go. The main character, Brynn, is fully drawn and relatable. Nieslanik descibes worlds you can see and feel.
"The plot is unique, and the worlds and people created are new and fresh. The environmental message drove the story to its hopeful conclusion. It just ended too soon!" — Raylene Lyon, author of Irkoy Crystal
"Quirky, fun, and outlandish, this social-science-fiction novel follows Bryn, an astronaut bound for a distant planet considered humanity’s last hope. She is alone, pregnant, and full of questions: Who is she, really? Can she save humanity—and, watching humans continue to rape Earth, should she? How can she choose between her husband and child, and between two planets she loves? The relatable psychology is delivered with elegance [...] If you can, read some of this engaging story in a bathtub. Or hot tub. Trust me on this." — Chris Coward, author of the award-winning, five-star /Perpendicular Women: Adventures in the Multiverse/
