As humanity plans its first adventures beyond the solar system, Reggie and thousands of others join NOUMENON – a convoy of nine ships on a mission to reveal the origins of this anomalous star. Is its strobing a natural phenomenon or something far more alien?NOUMENON’s voyage will take centuries. To preserve their talents, the convoy is populated by clones of its original crew. Born and reborn in a sealed society with a single purpose, every individual and every generation must come to terms with inheritances that go far beyond DNA.Marina J. Lostetter’s stunning debut explores the wonders of deep space and the obsessions, fears and desires of humanity’s first interstellar travellers as they speed toward a single blinking star and a discovery beyond their wildest imaginings.‘NOUMENON is a grand interstellar quest that marries intimate detail with the sweep of social change and discovery across generations.

Lostetter would like to think so. Originally from Oregon, she now resides in Arkansas with her husband, Alex. When not writing or drawing she can often be found reading spec-fic, or playing it (she enjoys a good zombie-themed board game now and again). And she does it all while globetrotting.Please visit her online at www.lostetter.net.Twitter: @MarinaLostetterThe acclaimed science fiction trilogy of deep space exploration and adventure• Voyager’s Global Science Fiction Debut of 2017• A character-driven, deep-space adventure, with assured science and shrewd observation• Exceptional reviews already in US• International blog and social media activity leading up to and on publicationCompetition: Wayfarers;The Salvagers;The Quantum Magician;Rosewater;Cage of Souls;Children of Time.
