A secret buried for generations. A conspiracy threatening humanity’s future. And one woman who must risk everything to uncover the truth. The THETIS is humanity’s last hope: a generation ship carrying the last remnants of Earth to resettle on a new planet. For two hundred years, its society has flourished under the banner of unity and cooperation. But beneath this carefully maintained facade lurks a truth so devastating it could spell doom for their entire future on their new home. The key to uncovering the truth lies in the hands of SANDRINE LIET, an introverted Archivist who has everything to lose by pitting herself against the most powerful people on the ship. The deeper she digs, the more evident it becomes that there is only one way to save both herself and her fellow Thetans from the ominous scheme plotted by the Thetis elite – and it’s the most horrifying choice imaginable… What Readers Are Saying: ״The book felt like watching a movie, and the action in the last 100 pages left me unable to put it down!״ - Melany B., Amazon Reviewer “Sometimes, I felt the pages turning too quickly.

EXCERPT FROM THE "A" REVIEW ON BookLife:
"Satisfying generation ship mystery, with strong worldbuilding"
"An epic SF political noir set on a generation ship as humanity faces perhaps the most consequential decisions in its history, Generations proves as brisk and engaging as it is ambitious. The civilizational stakes, lived-in worldbuilding, and assured storytelling all satisfy."
EXCERPT FROM THE 5-STAR REVIEW ON READERS FAVORITE:
"Author Noam Josephides' novel grips you from the outset and it feels like you're embarking on an exhilarating odyssey through the depths of space and into the harsh truth about human nature. The narrative unfolds seamlessly, blending elements of science fiction with political mystery and thriller at a great pace, and there is always something brewing or new to uncover.
The author's talent for description and atmospheric detail creates a multifaceted world aboard the ship, with characters that are fully rooted in the reality of the setting, and whose attitudes are clearly shaped by it. Sandrine Liet is, of course, a standout lead character, whose resilience and determination resonate deeply the more you get to know her and get invested in her cause.
Overall, Generations is a highly recommended read for science fiction fans everywhere, delivering a profound exploration of human values, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of truth against all odds."
EXCERPT FROM THE 5-STAR REVIEW ON SCIFI ZONE:
"Generations" succeeds to extend beyond its genre in a brilliant way by confronting its protagonist with one of the smartest, most sophisticated and charismatic political rivals we've read lately.
Like many cultural works dealing with political-conspiracy, Josephides is clearly interested in a much wider array of questions beyond the "whodunnit" plot: the examination of moral values, societal structures and personal ambition as foundational aspects of our species nature, and the if and how we can transcend them if we want to survive long-term."
