Born Between the Stars
Five hundred years ago, the generation ship Aspiration left Earth carrying ten thousand souls to a distant world. Now, at the journey's midpoint, Captain Nova Starborn and her crew—all born in the void, shaped by the ship, dreaming of planets they've never seen—discover they are not alone.
The void between stars is full of others like them: generation ships from countless species, all making the eternal voyage. As humanity faces a choice between completing their original mission or joining this confederation of the journey-born, they must confront fundamental questions about identity, purpose, and what it means to be human when you've never known Earth.

A Note on the Journey
This saga explores what happens when the journey becomes more important than the destination, when those born between stars must choose their own path. Each chapter stands alone but builds toward a greater understanding: home is not where you're from or where you're going, but who you become along the way.
About This Collection
Children of Distant Stars emerged from a simple question: What becomes of humanity when entire generations live and die without ever seeing a planet? Not just physically, but psychologically, culturally, even evolutionarily?
This is their story—the void-born who must choose between the mission they inherited and the identity they've developed. It's about community found in the most unlikely places, evolution in the darkest spaces, and the courage to forge your own destiny when the stars themselves are your only witnesses.
Whether humanity's future lies on distant shores or in the eternal voyage itself, one truth remains: we are all children of distant stars, finding our way home through the dark.
