About the book

In a future reshaped by rising seas and digital consciousness, David Schreiner undergoes a neurocloning procedure that creates a copy of his mind. While the original David remains on Earth with his wife Amy, his neuroclone—who names himself “Go David”—embarks on a thirteen-hundred-year voyage aboard the starship Paradise, bound for the stellar nurseries of Orion.

As Paradise travels farther from Earth, Go David wrestles with identity, memory, and transformation. Alongside Temper Tom, the neuroclone of his oldest friend, he must lead two million digital colonists while forging a life that is no longer borrowed.

When the ship nears Point Alpha—the threshold beyond which consciousness transfer becomes impossible—Go David must confront the final severance from Earth. What does it mean to be a copy becoming an original? And can love survive the distance between stars?

“This isn’t my usual genre, but after the first chapter I wanted to keep reading to see what would happen next. It kept me entertained and is a very different kind of love story/sci‑fi/fantasy book. I’ll definitely be reading book two.” — Goodreads reviewer
