Dadr'Ba
Our world was becoming uninhabitable, unchecked technology, industrialization, overpopulation, greed and war had poisoned our world.
The halfhearted attempts, distrust of our neighbors and unwillingness to make sacrifices. Our choice was doubt and delay, that choice ultimately was a decision to sacrifice the many and risk our entire species.
This by itself probably would not have forced the launching of the lifeboats had we not been detected that our world's magnetic field was preparing a reversal it was steadily weakening and moving. This time in conjunction with increased solar flare activity that our scientists predict will strip off a significant portion of our atmosphere with catastrophic results. On the verge of extinction, our technology enabled us to send out life rafts, arks destined for exoplanets that had been identified as habitable and devoid of intelligent life, or that’s what we thought.

Awesome story. This one may be the next Star Trek. It will make a great movie.

In the book “Dadr’Ba”, Tetsu’Go’Ru Tsu’Te tackles an old science fiction theme, in this case, the final stages of the journey of a generation starship destined for an exoplanet many lightyears distant. I’ve never come across anyone else that has examined both the scientific and sociological challenges so thoroughly and in such a logical manner. This is “hard” science fiction, and based on possible if not probable extensions of science and technology that exists today, but matured hundreds if not a thousand or so years into the future. If the science were harder and it would include blueprints, parts breakdowns, and schematics.
If I had any critics, it might be to cut back on some of the hard science, because I quickly became attached to the main characters, P’Ko and Su’Zi and their trials and tribulations dealing with the entirely unique universe that Mr. Tsu’Te has created. The story includes some intriguing explorations of topics ranging from aging, death and dying, time and time travel, gender identity, love, sex, mating, procreation, religion, God, aliens, environmentalism, war, technology, “multiselves” and a real mind-bending look at “nothing.”
I really enjoyed “Dadr’Ba,” it’s the beginning of a new genre and I think takes science fiction to new levels. The futuristic proper names were difficult to get used to at first but after a while, they became natural and seemed to fit. It’s a difficult read in places, tackling heavy themes mentioned above and makes it seem more like science fiction literature rather than a science fiction story. “Dadr’Ba” left me thinking about life, humanity and our place and role in the universe. Finally, I’m glad it didn’t end with the hateful sense of “to be continued,” yet I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.

The book was truly exceptional. It contained cutting edge science, philosophy and characters that I could really identify with. And it ended a message for us all.
