The Divide

The Waypoint Descent, Book 2

By: Ethan Fry

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

One body. Two kinds of human. No way back.

The survival blueprints demanded a terrifying price: the fleet must physically adapt to the void. Now, half the population has volunteered for an irreversible biological transformation, expanding their senses beyond human limits but severing their connection to those they left behind.

As the fleet fractures along this new biological fault line, Commander Vasik faces a crisis she cannot simply order away. Families are tearing apart, not from hatred, but from total incomprehension. Unmodified and adapted humans can no longer even feel what the other feels.

When a catastrophic hull breach exposes just how lethal this divide has become, Vasik must confront the consequences of the program she authorized. Alongside Dr. Lien, a medical officer watching her own patients become unrecognizable strangers, Vasik must find a way to unite two diverging species before the void claims them both.

In the cold of deep space, the cost of survival is measured in the silence between a mother and the daughter whose smile she can no longer read.

The Divide is a fast-paced, ~160-page science fiction novella. It is the second installment in The Waypoint Descent, a six-book space opera epic about a refugee fleet that must dissolve everything it was to survive what comes next.
