On a small corner of a doomed world, where the capricious laws of nature can’t be reversed, a civilization arrives at the end of its days.
Warin is one of a small team charting the demise of the last few inhabitants of Retti 4, a distant planet in the throes of an extinction-level virus. It’s not Warin’s job to intervene in natural evolution or to question the whims of a cruel universe. He is only to observe and report. Until Warin actually steps foot on Retti 4.
Not the primitive species Warin believed them to be, the rettys are an industrious and ethical lot working together in a close-knit farming village. Lacking the human traits of fear, suspicion, and aggression, they are welcoming, curious, and eager to share their traditions—even in the shadow of a tragedy that they, and Warin, are powerless to stop.
As they embrace Warin into their fold, his compassion grows. So does his own self-discovery. For Warin, far away from Earth, comes a deeper understanding of friendship, civilization, and the true meaning of humanity. And above all, the peace and profound strength it takes to accept the inevitable.
A.T. Sayre has been writing in some form or other ever since he was ten years old. From plays to poems, teleplays to comic books, he has tried his hand at pretty much every medium imaginable. His work has appeared in Analog Science Fiction and Fact, Haven Speculative, Aurealis, Andromeda Spaceways, and StarShipSofa. His first short story collection, Signals in The Static, was published in May 2024 by Lethe Press. Born in Kansas City, raised in New Hampshire, he lives in Brooklyn and likes to read in coffeehouses. Find Sayre on his website (https://www.atsayre.com/fiction) or follow him on Twitter (@AtSayre).
Chris has narrated over 530 titles in his audiobook career. Just last year, he received two Audie nominations for Best Thriller (Snowstorm in August, Blackstone Audio) and Best Multi-Cast (Star Trek: No Man’s Land, Simon and Schuster Audio). He’s received parts of six Earphones Awards from AudioFile Magazine, a 2022 SOVAS nomination for Best Mystery (No One Will Miss Her, HarperCollins Audio), and an Odyssey Award (Sadie, Macmillan Audio). Chris is also a TV and Film actor with credits in such shows at Castle and Gotham (he always seems to die), is a frequent video game voice actor known for Mickey Caviar in Starfield, over 30 characters in the AAA game series Fallout for Bethesda, and can be heard voicing the Ultimate History Quiz on your nearest Alexa device for The History Channel/A&E. He’s married to his high school sweetheart Suzanne, loves to spend every day with his Frenchie Leo and Boston Terrier Coco, and dearly misses his first-born Pug-boy Rocky.
