Year 5601

After 5600 years in space, a young woman is tasked with vetting a planet that might finally be a home for the thousands of people on her GenShip. More certain is her growing fear that her ship’s captain might be psychotic.

Mya Landric has lived all of her life aboard the Rebibe, a generation ship that launched 5600 years earlier from a dying planet Earth. Everything aboard the Rebibe is tightly regimented via color-coded bars—status, career aptitude, even whom you date or marry. Mya is stuck in the ship’s middle status layer, unnoticed by anyone and unhappy about it. Now, however, the captain and the ship’s Artificial Intelligence, CAMLO, have tasked her with the most important job of her life: investigating a planet that might, finally, be a home. There’s just one nagging problem. Mya and her small group of friends are beginning to believe that perhaps their own Captain Bligh has no intention of letting them land there, and Mya most definitely does not wish to be the Rebibe’s Fletcher Christian.

Emotional, hopeful, enthralling, and fun, this future fiction epic is the first novel in a series of adventures in the Aligned Worlds™ universe. Stay tuned for space-time travel, pointless wars, love, sex, and rock and roll, all on planets you’ll have to read about to believe. It’s going to be a wild ride, and Year 5601 takes you there with a roaring start.

About the Author

Bill Jones, Jr. is an American novelist born in Washington D.C. Initially a published poet, in 2009, after years away from writing, working in the information technology sector, Bill penned his first novel and discovered his true vocation.

His work is wide-ranging, including the dystopian future fiction tome Hard as Roxx; the contemporary fantasy fiction trilogy, The Stream; detective stories The Little Burgundy and The Brooklyn Trace; as well as a bit of African American alternate history in The Stubborn Life of Jesse Ed McKinney. Bill has also released three short fiction collections. He believes it’s important to understand that while heroes don’t always win in the end, they sometimes do. As such, his stories always offer some degree of hope.

Now, having retired from his former career, Bill spends his time creating fictional worlds, reading, world building, smiling at grandsons, and exploring Earth with his cameras and his artist-photographer wife.
