Transit: Volumes 1-3
“An engaging, personality-driven tale with detailed SF worldbuilding.” — Kirkus Reviews
No one said colonization would be easy.
As humans transit from one world to the next, the societal mores and norms will continue, but at what cost? Broad and deeply interconnected, the Transit series take you on a journey to another world and beyond.
What if humanity had a chance to start over?
Would we follow the same paths or forge new ones?
Collected here are the first three Transits, all in one volume. It may be large, but it's just the start.
Out of Due The First Transit
A small group of relatives and friends of the victims of a massive tragedy band together to learn the something epic is about to happen in a remote lake in northwestern Washington, and the genesis of a new world is underway.
Sunshine and Exodus, or The Second Transit
When a flood on a newly settled world threatens to destroy their colony, a psychologically conflicted young woman and her two cousins must overcome obstacles to establish a permanent home far from danger, while making a discovery that may rewrite humanity’s history.
All We Leave Transits of Three
Following the exodus from rising floodwaters, the surviving descendants of those who came to create a society on a planet far from Earth have struggled to rebuild. As the transits of three different groups get underway, new dangers and surprises emerge from within the rainforests, mountains, and deserts of the planet…and one of those may have followed them from Earth.
