Travel between the stars

The stars, your legacies

The stars, Your legacy

Erel is, with his clan of players, just hours away from smashing the all-time record in Razam, the ship’s most immersive RPG, when an urgent message from the ship’s AI interrupts their mission. After generations of travel, the massive generation ship has finally reached its destination—but it’s in critical condition. All passengers must disembark immediately.

There’s just one problem: the real world is far less exciting—and far more daunting—than the VR, and no one answers the call.

What if the only way to convince passengers to make their way to the planet requires Erel to transform this challenge into a game? Ultimate survival is his answer to the problem.

What readers say

No book is perfect, but this is one that had me glued to the point of setting aside everything else so I could read the last part uninterrupted. I haven’t done that with a book in a good long time. If you love sci-fi, you will love this book.
Human starpilot
F Stephan has damn near got me wrapped around his little finger. His characters and stories are a refreshing view true science fiction. Seeing Brian's situation unfold, and finding layer after layer after layer. If you like a team dynamic like Chris Bunch or The Expanse then it's time to make some new friends.
Interstellar starpilot
Welcome to the world of Early Departure. A world wherein humans want to flee their planet and the things they built won’t let them. If you take this story out of the context of science fiction and place it in fairytale land, it becomes the classic tale of the abandoned child that seeks to kill its father. The concept is interesting and it is competently dealt with. For my own preference I would have preferred a closer connection with the characters, but that’s more a personal comment than a complaint. Read and enjoy. A solid four stars.
Early departure
The best part of this book was the storyline and the action. It never dragged and I was always interested in what would be happening next. The idea of Romans fighting fantasy creatures is an intriguing one.
