What to expect
Nancy Kress returns with the sequel of Tomorrow’s Kin, part of an all-new hard science fiction trilogy based on a Nebula Award-winning novella
Ten years after the aliens left Earth, humanity has succeeded in building a ship, Friendship, in which to follow them home to Kindred. Aboard are a crew of scientists, diplomats, and a squad of Rangers to protect them. But when the Friendship arrives, they find nothing they expected: no interplanetary culture, no industrial base, and no cure for the spore disease.
A timeslip in the apparently instantaneous travel between worlds has occurred, and far more than ten years have passed.
Once again scientists find themselves in a race against time to save humanity and their kind from a deadly virus while a clock of a different sort runs down on a military solution no less deadly to all. Amid devastation and plague come stories of heroism and sacrifice and of genetic destiny and free choice, with its implicit promise of conscious change.
Critics Review
“Kress continues to showcase her fantastic worldbuilding skills on an alien planet…Leaves readers wanting more!”
“Kress, known for taking on challenging topics, here tackles the notion of pacifists going to war, as those on Kindred gear up to fight for the survival of their peaceful civilization.”
“In this sequel to Tomorrow’s Kin, Kress keeps the multiple character viewpoints on track; her second volume in a trilogy that is based on her Nebula Award–winning novella, Yesterday’s Kin, offers fans of first-contact fiction a solid, strongly paced story.”
