Paul Chafe’s Ark series is a two-book science fiction duology that explores the classic generation-ship premise. Genesis, published in 2007, sets up the scenario of humans aboard a massive vessel traveling through deep space, while Exodus (2009) continues the story as the journey’s challenges grow more severe.
The series deals with the social, political, and physical pressures of life aboard a self-contained ship over a long timeframe. Readers who enjoy hard science fiction with a focus on survival and community dynamics will find these two books worth their time.
