Across the Void, Colchis re-imagines the Jason and the Argonauts
myth in a future where geopolitical governments have been replaced
by mega-corporations and years of consumer waste have poisoned the
planet. Now, the majority of the populace lives upon a massive
satellite ring around the Earth while the richest executives
separate themselves from the masses in sprawling colonies on Mars.
Few people have the ability to improve their lot in life and so
when the four largest corporations announce a joint interstellar
venture to colonize an alien planet, those who have the opportunity
to participate in the project eagerly sign on. For Guinness McElwee
and others, this journey offers the chance for adventure and a
change in circumstance, but will they find freedom and advancement
traveling the galaxy or will society's woes follow them across
space and time? Like Jean-Paul Corriveau's previous work, The
Vigil, Across the Void, Colchis takes a searing look at our society
all while paying homage to the genre it is written in using Mr.
Corriveau's signature meta-literary analytical style.
