"Pursuing humanity's redemption to its final interstellar frontier, Flynn delivers an impressive and original epic."-Publishers Weekly, starred review

Experience a truly extraordinary journey aboard a colossal generation ship, where Earth's brightest minds have forged a strict regime to ensure survival of the human race. The unintentionally-oppressive rules form uniquely distinct societies as the years pass, until differences in ideology, class, and cultural identity stirs up rebellion among the beleaguered crew, igniting the first whispers of revolution.

A masterful exploration of humanity's relentless quest for freedom, In the Belly of the Whale pushes the boundaries of the genre, offering a deeply insightful examination of societal evolution and personal resilience. Each character is so set in their convictions it will make you continuously reevaluate what is right and wrong as you dive into the depths of the human spirit and space.

A gripping epic that will take readers on a profound voyage of the mind and space.
