No One To Hold the Distant Dead

Inga Nyström chose to leave Earth and help the colony of Nordenmark escape a looming ecological disaster. But by the time she arrives, the catastrophic degradation of the planet's terraformed environment has already passed the point of no return, and she finds its people defeated, sleepwalking through a slow-moving death. What's more, the technology that brought Inga to this distant colony-beaming her consciousness out of her original body and into a synthetic one-has misfired. There are haunting gaps in her memory, pieces of herself lost to the void. As extinction takes species after species, Inga and the people of Nordenmark must find a way to survive, and a reason to live, in the spaces death leaves behind.
