It is a dark period for humanity. We were forced out of our own star centuries ago by an unknown cataclysm which devastated our Solar utopia. What remains of human civilization is fractured and stranded on an alien system in an unknown sector of the universe. Humanity has rebuilt itself a dozen times in this new expanse. A thriving empire built on trade and genetic slavery, a democracy plagued by unchecked markets and crime, a xenophobic collection of high-tech Houses and a religious technocracy all present a new path for our astray race. But questions hang over every soul in the system- What caused the fall? What technology brought us here? Where is our ancient home? But most important of all: What should humanity do in these new stars? The Tales of two Strange Suns will be a collection of different point of view short stories set in the Exodus Chronicles universe, an all-new science fiction setting that follows humanity's new beginnings in many strange new worlds. Kataryna's Rest follows the personal story of Kataryna Lange, an imperial astronaut with a very important personal mission- to venture into the unknown and discover what other human societies exists in this new cosmos.
