System Divine takes classic literature and sets it on another planet. The series, co-written with Joanne Rendell, reimagines Les Miserables in a futuristic colony world called Laterre, where the class divisions and revolutionary tensions of Victor Hugo’s novel play out in a science fiction setting. Sky Without Stars launched the series in 2019, followed by Between Burning Worlds and Suns Will Rise.
The literary retelling angle gives the series a structural backbone from one of the great novels, while the science fiction setting lets Brody and Rendell build something new around it. The companion piece The Thief adds another perspective to the story.
