NOSTOS
On the NOSTOS, a patchwork starship carrying what’s left of the European-Union to a new home across the galaxy, everyone seems destined for a rootless life of blue-collar-labour until a jaded maintenance worker, an insubordinate prodigy and a repurposed sex-clone, get caught up in a rebellion that will make them a family, and change the course of humanity forever.
