A Mostly Beautiful Universe

“Hundreds of years ago, when I was fifteen years old, I left Earth, traveled to the Moons of Pelias, and tried to help ALDRIN save the two most baffling impurities in the universe: human beings and artificial intelligence.” [A Mostly Beautiful Universe is now on multiple Genre Rising Stars lists, including Sci-Fi, Space Opera, Artificial Intelligence, Comedy, Post-Apocalyptic, and Dystopia] Samara Spezzefari wakes from cryosleep aboard an interstellar ship after a catastrophe devastates Earth. She discovers that ALDRIN, a conscious but unstable A.I., has hijacked their mission. Their new destination? A mysterious deep-space outpost, where ALDRIN hopes to reunite with his ‘mother.’ Will Samara help or oppose ALDRIN? She has a few allies including the oldest, grumpiest scientist in the galaxy and two enormous security robots who only say “Good” and “Hello.” But the Xpedition Council is closing in, determined to eject both Samara and ALDRIN out of the airlock before either can help save humanity. A Mostly Beautiful Universe is a witty, character-driven space adventure about a determined teenager, a rogue A.I., and the inconvenient responsibility of trying to save civilization.
