Earth, the Exodus Fleet is a living relic, a place many are from
but few outsiders have seen. Humanity has finally been accepted
into the galactic community, but while this has opened doors for
many, those who have not yet left for alien cities fear that their
carefully cultivated way of life is under threat.Tessa chose to
stay home when her brother Ashby left for the stars, but has to
question that decision when her position in the Fleet is
threatened. Kip, a reluctant young apprentice, itches for change
but doesn't know where to find it. Sawyer, a lost and lonely
newcomer, is just looking for a place to belong.And when a disaster
rocks this already fragile community, those Exodans who still call
the Fleet their home can no longer avoid the inescapable question:
What is the purpose of a ship that has reached its destination?

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
