Krátky popis
With the imaginative soul and propulsive storytelling of Station
Eleven and The Ministry of Time, Voyagers is a profoundly human,
thrillingly original and brilliantly ambitious literary debut about
friendship at the end of the world. If the world was about to end,
who would you want by your side? When the Signal – a mysterious
transmission pulsing from the edge of the solar system – arrives,
the world changes overnight. Planes are grounded, satellites fail,
humanity holds its breath. And Alex realises there’s no one he’d
rather be with at the potential apocalypse than Ana. Because when
they were six years old, Ana and Alex were abducted by aliens. Or
at least, that’s what they told the rescuers who found them after
their 36 hours missing in Palm Springs, and the story they stuck to
as they became minor child stars. Now, as the Signal grows louder
and the world devolves into chaos, the two race to meet each other
for one final reckoning. VOYAGERS is a novel about friendship and
family, celebrity and conspiracy, memory and mystery. It explores
what it means to live by one story before, at last, having the
courage to tell a different one. 'In Voyagers, Meg Charlton
explores the connections between memory, storytelling, and truth.
Against the backdrop of a global crisis, her characters contend
with the lasting pain and confusion of a personal crisis. This
novel grapples with the possibility of extraterrestrial life, but
even more so with the possibility of friendship that is generous
and forgiving. A delightful and moving debut' Helen Phillips,
author of Hum and The Need 'Voyagers is a tender sweeping epic
about the quest for the self. Meg Charlton asks, in elegant and
compelling prose: 'Can we escape the terrible events of our past or
make of them what we will? And what happens to intimacy when we
share a past but remember it differently?'. At its heart, Voyagers
is a story about storytelling – how it tears us apart and might
bring us back together again' Taymour Soomro, author of Other Names
