An Arbitrary Algorithm

by Andrew Kraft

Isaac, fed up with the complacency of society on Earth, has led an interstellar mission for him and his passengers to their new planetary refuge, Cardea. Their population has thrived on this new world for the last fifty-two years, but the contentment is again becoming a concern. With the fate of life on Earth uncertain and the ultimate survival of humankind hanging in the balance, the subsequent direction of their society on Cardea is now being questioned.

Most of the crew and passengers of the original Tarax mission are no longer alive. Cardea’s new leader, Ravena, is facing rebellion from Ormr, a visionary fanatic of their planet’s founder, Isaac. Ravena races to save an unprepared people while long-buried secrets from Earth’s past begin to surface.
