Description
Cosmonaut Keep is the opening novel in Ken MacLeod's "new future history" series. The story explores two tales of humanity's first encounters with an alien civilization, set 300 years apart.
One tale follows Matt Cairns, a computer programmer struggling to survive in a turbulent near-future Europe. Three centuries later, his descendant Gregor makes a new home on a distant and exotic alien world.
This novel offers a gripping exploration of humanity's place in the universe, as two generations navigate the complexities of first contact and the challenges of building a new society.
