By the tail end of the 80s and the start of the 90s it felt as if history was finally emerging from locked-in syndrome.

We’re not talking here about conventional office politics we’re talking about the high-stake risks you face whenever you try to lead an organization through difficult but necessary change. But frequently, something more is at work. People in top positions must often pay the price for a flawed strategy or a series of bad decisions. While leadership is often depicted as an exciting and glamorous endeavor, one in which you inspire others to follow you through good times and bad, such a portrayal ignores leadership’s dark side: the inevitable attempts to take you out of the game. Let’s face it, to lead is to live dangerously.

As always, Robinson is at his best when dealing with large populations, scientific questions, and logistics, and the very human characters are more than afterthoughts. But ecologies are delicate, resources are limited, and the laws of physics are immutable. Freya’s mother, Devi, is the de facto chief engineer, struggling to keep the ship’s environment balanced until they reach a new world and, they hope, survive on it. Freya and her parents live aboard a starship that has traveled for generations and will soon reach Tau Ceti, a star about 12 light years from Earth’s solar system. This ambitious hard SF epic shows Robinson ( Shaman) at the top of his game. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I don’t know who smuggled her in or if they meant to leave her here, but I can smell her hiding in the house.
