The Sixth Traveler

A Novel

De: Kevin M. Faulkner

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Jenny Hsu was left disabled from an interstellar jump that was supposed to be the highlight of her career. She lost a friend, and the person she leaned on the most was fading away . . .

Before all this her life was simple. Every morning, Jenny was wakened by Britta, made coffee, uploaded to her implant, and was off to work at her firm in San Diego. Surfing was her only real care. In need of billable hours, Jenny took on a complicated client whose breakthrough technology would transform her life and all of humanity—a fast ride off an increasingly crowded and intrusive world.

Jenny doesn’t want transformation and hates all the attention. But she can't run any longer. So can she trust the seemingly infinite compassion of an android? The taikonaut who lent her strength she thought she never had? Like it or not, historic events are drawing Jenny into a future for herself, the man she is calculated to love, and the new planet she reluctantly represents.

The Sixth Traveler is the twenty-second century memoir of a young woman drawn into the conflict and chaos of man’s first steps into the stars.
