Description

Other stories will take you to Mars. This one will take you inside the boardroom, the pub, and the bedroom with the people planning the mission.

Gurdeep is an engineer and a soldier. Georgie's a food scientist. One is pragmatic with a tough outer shell; the other's an optimist, a person of ideas and compassion. In the span of a single afternoon, the couple find themselves in charge of planning a self-sustaining colony on Mars. Together, they're humanity's last hope for survival.

They have 160 slots to fill with experts from all over the world as they set about designing an all-new society with its own government, economy, and culture - and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Among those chosen for the mission is Devon, an autistic scientist with a unique skill set who finds life on Earth strange and alienating. Maybe a whole new planet is exactly what's needed.

With 1,114 days until the launch, excitement and tensions run high. Earth's second chance hangs in the balance. Between strict genetic requirements and the dangers of the dystopian almost-present, will everyone make it to the final countdown?

This is a work of neurodiverse, culturally diverse, gender-bendy, socio-politico-economic, drunken-arguments-in-the-pub science fiction - not bang-bang-pew-pew science fiction.

REVIEWS
'This book is tailor-made for armchair scientists who enjoy the process of world building. Devon's Island is a surprisingly topical book for our moment, and I look forward to seeing where Clarke takes the story next.'
-- Miranda, The Lesbian Review
'It reminded me of Becky Chambers but a bit more sciencey.'
-- Sarah, GoodReads
'No character is who you expect them to be.'
-- Caroline, Amazon UK
