    About this ebook

    "Stand by for contact."

    Ihsan held xir breath as the lander slowly touched down on their asteroid. A decade and a half of work and they finally had the start of their generation ship.

    Hollow the asteroid out, add air and soil, then slap on some solar panels and presto you had a space station. Or strap on engines and you were free to travel the universe.

    Their Cradle, future of xir families, was born. Now they just had to finish the work and they'd all be free.

    Cradle of the Future posits a dark future that may yet come to pass while giving us a way to escape into the universe. Don't miss out!
