But doing so would bring her to the attention of the fanatics and the murderers who control life aboard the ship, putting her and everyone she loves in terrible danger.Īnd a safe return to Earth is by no means certain. Until the day she makes an extraordinary discovery - a way to return the Australia to Earth.
Seventeen-year-old Chan, fiercely independent and self-sufficient, keeps her head down and lives quietly, careful not to draw attention to herself amidst the violence and disorder. In order to find it, Chan must head way down into the darkness - a place of buried secrets, long-forgotten lies, and the abandoned bodies of the dead. The Australia is a brutal landscape, adrift in the void and built upon violence and disorder, crumbling infrastructure and dwindli. This is a ship of death, of murderers and cults and gangs. Way Down Dark by James Smythe is an altogether darkly disturbing and gritty dystopia set on the broken and decaying remnants of The Australia, a ship lost for generations in the vast emptiness of space. The only life that Chan's ever known is one of violence, of fighting. Seventeen-year-old Chan's ancestors left a dying Earth hundreds of years ago, in search of a new home. Imagine a nightmare from which there is no escape. James Smythe: I hated this fantasy yarn when I first read it but now I know that genre-swapping can make great writers grow.
