When the world ends, where will you go?
In a breathtakingly vivid and emotionally gripping debut novel, one woman must confront the emptiness in the universe—and in her own heart—when a devastating virus reduces most of humanity to dust and memories.
 
All Jamie Allenby ever wanted was space. Even though she wasn’t forced to emigrate from Earth, she willingly left the overpopulated, claustrophobic planet. And when a long relationship devolved into silence and suffocating sadness, she found work on a frontier world on the edges of civilization. Then the virus hit...
 
Now Jamie finds herself dreadfully alone, with all that’s left of the dead. Until a garbled message from Earth gives her hope that someone from her past might still be alive.
 
Soon Jamie finds other survivors, and their ragtag group will travel through the vast reaches of space, drawn to the promise of a new beginning on Earth. But their dream will pit them against those desperately clinging to the old ways. And Jamie’s own journey home will help her close the distance between who she has become and who she is meant to be...

      British author Corlett's debut novel throws a group of strangers together after an incurable, highly contagious virus decimates human colonies across the universe. Narrator Mary Woodvine captures the survivors' varied emotional states--fearful, relieved, angry, passionate, and manic--as they travel throughout the universe in search of supplies, other survivors, and succor. Core characters are drawn from all levels of social strata. Everyone, including the listener's primary lens, veterinarian Jamie Allenby, is so clearly depicted that listeners will lose themselves in the journey. Conflicts arise within the group and with the inhabitants of each planet they visit, challenging their conception of humanity and of possibilities for the future.
