[QUOTE="Wofano Wotanto, post: 9268290, member: 7044704"] If you haven't read it, Adam Oyebanji's 2022 novel Braking Day evoked a similar feeling for me. The mysteries there unfold around a slow but steady unpacking of the culture that's evolved on the lead characters' STL generation ship, its past history and its possible future fate, but they're still mysteries and it's interesting to try to unpack them before the full reveals. It's a remarkably alien setting despite being a human ship, and when the bigger reveals start coming they feel like something you could have predicted rather than coming from out-of-nowhere. It's the author's first scifi novel, and hopefully not his last. Other than the ending feeling a little bit rushed and the author underestimating how much info we can already gather about planets from light years away I have zero complaints. Wouldn't mind seeing a sequel that explores what happens when the expedition finally reaches their destination and the ship culture has to adapt to the journey being over - if it really turns out to be. Then again, I have a weakness for generation ship stories that stems from my childhood. Too much exposure to Metamorphosis Alpha has led to a minor mutation, no doubt. [/QUOTE]
