A passionate young scientist discovers the looming cataclysm threatening her civilization
A despotic ruler and his political protégé struggle to reconcile their imperialist identity with a culture that’s moved on
An agent of an ancient conspiracy starts to question his purpose
And a galaxy hangs in the balance
A standalone, adult-audience science fiction novel, A More Glorious Dawn depicts scientific effort optimistically and heroically. It takes place in a distant galaxy filled with ancient relics, wormhole passages, and vast civilizations. The characters adventure through court intrigue, academic politicking, delicate negotiations, and interstellar combat. It celebrates the value of making the universe a better place even when faced with problems of our own making.
A More Glorious Dawn is space opera in the vein of Scalzi’s Interdependency series or Corey’s Expanse series, mixed with Chambers’ Wayfarers series and academic drama.
