Arrival Ryk Brown Summary

The name of my book is Arrival and it is a science fiction story written by Ryk Brown. The main character in this story is Jack and he is the captain of a 7 man crew. Jack and his crew are in search in a new world to start a new colony because of the mistakes that the people on earth made. The only thing standing in his way is space, they have to search the galaxy and every planet to try and find one that is inhabitable for humans. This is all possible because of a project that they called eden which was a mission to start a colony in the solar system. There has been 3 generations of kids that grew up on this ship not knowing anything about what was out in space. They have no clue what life is like on earth they have only heard about it and seen pictures. The 7 man crew has to explore these worlds and send back information to the colony ship to see if that planet is inhabitable or if there was any other sign of life. The main conflict in this story was the the Daedalus was running out of gas and options so they sent a smaller ship called the Icarus to a planet. The Icarus crash lands on this planet the crew ends up splitting up to try to solve a dangerous infection that turns people into blue furred natives which are ill. The crew has to try and figure out how to stop this
This is my favorite part because he saves his crew and was hoping his crew would figure out what causes this infection that turns you into a monster before the mother ship lands on the planet. I would recommend this novel to anyone his is interested in space, planets, and a fantasy story. I would recommend this because most of the story takes place in space and on new planets that haven't been discovered yet. Overall i really enjoyed this story and would highly recommend this story to people who enjoy reading intense
