Overview

"FROM AWARD-WINNING SCREENWRITER AND DIRECTOR NOAM JOSEPHIDES, COMES THE 2024 DEBUT NOVEL SENSATION ‘GENERATIONS’ - A HEART-POUNDING ROLLERCOASTER OF CONSPIRACY, LOVE, TREACHERY AND REDEMPTION ABOARD THE GENERATION-SHIP ‘THETIS’. ""Thought-provoking, innovative and brimming with emotional depth!"" - SciFi Book Review For eight generations, the Thetis has been a peaceful haven, carrying the last remnants of humanity on a journey to resettle on a new planet. Nearing its final destination, Thetis is seemingly a Utopia: egalitarian, tolerant and united. A society ready for a new beginning. But when a strange extortion attempt targets the ship's leader, that idyllic façade begins to crack. And when SANDRINE LIET, the introvert Archivist tasked with investigating the case starts poking around – the prime suspect mysteriously disappears. Nobody disappears on the Thetis. Sandrine is pulled into a web of intrigue and deception, sending her on a direct collision course with the most powerful people on the Thetis – and with her own values. Every step she takes, her suspicions of a grand and far-reaching conspiracy grow - as are the personal consequences for her future if she keeps pursuing the investigation. To uncover the truth, Sandrine will have to confront the specters of her past, gather unusual allies and embark on a journey to the very origin of the Thetis. GENERATIONS is a heart-pounding tale of political intrigue and personal sacrifice, where love, betrayal, and shifting loyalties intertwine. It is the story of the indomitable will of a woman who refuses to bow down to tyranny, and of the enduring power of truth in a world built on lies. Praise for “Generations”: ""Like the best Science Fiction classics, Generations reminds us that the future is a canvas of our making, and with it - our definition of being Human."" - Reader Review ""Generations' message hits hard, while being a fun and engaging rollercoaster."" - SciFi Book Review"

"EXCERPT FROM THE 5-STAR ★★★★★ REVIEW ON READERS'S FAVORITE:;""Author Noam Josephides' novel grips you from the outset and it feels like you're embarking on an exhilarating odyssey through the depths of space and into the harsh truth about human nature. The narrative unfolds seamlessly, blending elements of science fiction with political mystery and thriller at a great pace, and there is always something brewing or new to uncover.;The author's talent for description and atmospheric detail creates a multifaceted world aboard the ship, with characters that are fully rooted in the reality of the setting, and whose attitudes are clearly shaped by it. Sandrine Liet is, of course, a standout lead character, whose resilience and determination resonate deeply the more you get to know her and get invested in her cause.;As I navigated the corridors of the Thetis alongside Sandrine, the close narration style immersed me in a world teeming with intrigue, where every revelation brought new layers to the meticulously constructed narrative.;Overall, Generations is a highly recommended read for science fiction fans everywhere, delivering a profound exploration of human values, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of truth against all odds."";;EXCERPT FROM THE 5-STAR ★★★★★ REVIEW ON SCIFI ZONE:;""The novel is set on the generation-ship ""Thetis"", which has been making its way to find a new home for humanity for over 8 generations. The plot revolves around Sandrine Liet, an introvert, sassy and quirky female archivist, whose elaborate journey begins with a simple task of interviewing the Thetis elected leader, Sebastian Anderson. Anderson has been undergoing an extortion attempt by one of the ship's scientists, related to a seemingly marginal scientific project. Sandrine is tasked with investigating the case, and - as expected from the book's mystery/detective genre - opens a can of worms in which every step she takes and every stone she turns, new clues to a grand conspiracy threaten to overshadow humanity's entire future.;""Generations"" succeeds to extend beyond its genre in a brilliant way by confronting its protagonist with one of the smartest, most sophisticated and charismatic political rivals we've read lately.;Like many cultural works dealing with political-conspiracy, Josephides is clearly interested in a much wider array of questions beyond the ""whodunnit"" plot: the examination of moral values, societal structures and personal ambition as foundational aspects of our species nature, and the if and how we can transcend them if we want to survive long-term."";;MORE REVIEWS FOR ""GENERATIONS"":;★★★★★ ""'Generations' message hits hard, while being a fun and engaging rollercoaster.
