The Wanderers

More about the book

Phenomenal. A transcendent, cross-cultural and cross-planetary journey into the mysteries of space and self. Howrey's expansive vision left me awestruck. Straddling the line between outer space and our world, this breathtaking examination of the heart and soul of humankind is unlike anything you've ever read. Howrey subtly explores the tensions between our inner and projected selves, blending humor with poignancy. A masterful psychological novel, it features rich characterization and a gripping narrative. Each character feels distinct, a planet in their own right. Although the contours of a space drama may seem familiar, Howrey's poetic writing and rich characters make it feel fresh. With fragile, idealistic characters, the novel invites readers to 'lift their heads and wonder.' It plays with notions of counterfeits and authenticity, raising questions about the Eidolon mission's true nature. Inventive and immersive, it confronts ageless questions of human exploration and what we seek. Howrey's exquisite work suggests that the final frontier may not be space at all, offering a shimmering vision of who we are and where we aspire to go. Elegant and thoughtful, it builds to moments of immense power and honesty, leaving unforgettable impressions.
