Happy Pride! THE UNCONTINENTED STARS is a queer(er) sci-fi take on MOBY-DICK.

Xenobiologists on an exoplanet frontier tour find their mission derailed by their captain's quest for revenge against the deep-space organism that nearly killed him. 💙📚🌈

starscape background with cover of THE UNCONTINENTED STARS by haden cross in the bottom left corner. text across the top third, dark grey with red and blue shadow highlights like 3d glasses: MOBY-DICK IN SPACE beside the book cover in glowing blue futuristic font: WITH: trans protag xenobiology transhumanism anticolonialism mild cosmic horror starscape background with half of a blue and purple planet rising from the bottom. in glowing blue futuristic text, a quote from abelard cousteau, the book's ahab figure: "it nearly killed me. look how i exist now. state of the art, yes, but i miss the body i was born with, lived with. i was robbed of it. what kind of biologist exists as a machine? what could we lose by studying a dead leviathan? what else could it possibly give us alive?"

just a funny and evocative way to describe this. thanks herm
excerpt from OMOO by herman melville: “They were little, dried-up Frenchmen, in long, straight gowns of black cloth, and unsightly three-cornered hats—so preposterously big, that, in putting them on, the reverend fathers seemed extinguishing themselves.”

also i have been slowly making my way through OMOO of late. already much more interesting than TYPEE. far less racist amateur anthropology, way more sailor antics. the resident physician is called doctor long ghost

EDGE OF NOWHERE is $0.99 as an ebook right now. A cranky smuggler gets hired to teleport an unconscious man. They get stranded in an alien wilderness, rely on each other to get home, and spend the rest of the book in varying states of horny panic.

An image of a figure in silhouette with his back to the viewer. His silhouette is transparent and the starry void of space is visible through it. The text on the cover says "Edge of Nowhere," and below that, "Felicia Davin."
