Can the Solar System escape a "curse" from Earth's past?
Giuseppe always wanted to know more about his father’s death, his mission on the Europan spaceship the Chartres seemingly a way to find out. He just never imagined it would come while investigating a cult on Jupiter’s moons—least of all discovering a survivor of Earth.
Soon enough, he’s embarking on the same failed mission that killed his father.
As one of the original metas who fled Earth’s destruction, Juta Ix Chel has served on the Chartres her entire life. She’s certain the young woman they discovered near Jupiter is the sought-after answer for her civilization.
Yet Juta will doom her people if it means they accept a new future.
Whatever Giuseppe thinks he’s discovered, or the whereabouts in time Juta thinks humanity exists in now, none of it makes any sense to the woman they only know as “Curse.” Not only is she sure her name isn't Curse, but sure as #$%! the stories they tell her about herself are as equally #$%&@*!
It’s even worse when they say she should be dead!
Now all the worlds of the solar system want her to pick a side, which means witnessing ANOTHER destruction of all of Earth's life.
No. This time she gets to decide who she’s supposed to be.
How else can the populated planets of the solar system understand THE CURSE OF THE WORLDS?
Spanning planetary migrations across a partisan solar system, built on the weaponized husks of planets and ruinous genetic experiments, THE CURSE OF THE WORLDS is a visionary science fiction story about accepting that the same calamities might come again—but so can another future.
