This week, Patrick and Tracy welcome Peter F. Hamilton, author of Exodus: The Archimedes Engine.
\nAbout Exodus: The Archimedes Engine: In a past age, humanity fled a dying Earth in massive ark ships. These searched the galaxy to find a new home. Then one fleet found Centauri, a dense cluster of stars teeming with habitable planets. Now, thousands of years later, Centauri\u2019s settlers have evolved into advanced beings known as Celestials \u2013 and their great houses rule vast star systems.
\nAs they vie for supremacy, Earth\u2019s ark ships continue to arrive, and humans must serve these repressive masters. But is there a better life beyond the empire? Finn is a Centauri-born human and yearns for a brighter future. So, when another ark ship arrives, previously thought lost, Finn seizes the chance to become a Traveler. These heroes explore the vast unknowns of distant space, dedicated to humanity\u2019s survival. And they hope \u2013 one day \u2013 to find freedom.
