The Space Between - by Corinna Bechko (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

On board the interplanetary ark Dodona, life is strictly regimented and controlled, functioning according to the edicts put in place hundreds of years ago. But when a pilot named Revla falls through the vents and out of her privileged life landing deep within the belly of the ship's inner workings, she meets an algae tank worker named Les, and everything about their society is called into question. In this multi-generational science fiction epic, each chapter tells a new story of love and rebellion at a pivotal moment in the history of humanity's greatest adventure. Across the centuries, different factions rise and fall, political movements gain and lose power, and society changes both for the better and the worse, all within the microcosm of the spaceship Dodona. The only constants: hope for the future and the persistence of the human heart. Hugo and Eisner-nominated writer Corinna Bechko (Star Wars Legacy, The Expanse) and artist Danny Luckert (The Red Mother, Haunted) explore love throughout time and across space along the Dodona's long journey home. Collects The Space Between #1-4.

Review Quotes

"The Space Between is at once timeless and timely, exposing the disparity between the (literal) upper and lower classes on board a starship. Readers will rally behind Revla, a pilot who summons the courage to defy her destiny, while bracing for the impact her actions will have on generations to come. Utterly absorbing!"---Brenda Scott Royce (Monkey Love)

"A bold and gorgeous look into a less-than-perfect future, The Space Between examines the extreme classism in our society without reservations. Corinna Bechko and Danny Luckert will take the stars from you, but you trust that they'll bring them back more beautiful than ever, and in a world more deserving of them."---Tilly and Susan Bridges (Monster High,

"Gives me Heavy Metal/Aeon Flux vibes. My compliments to the artist! My only criticism is I wish I could read more."---Drew Rausch (Sullengrey

"WIth The Space Between, Corinna Bechko draws the reader in with impressive and engaging worldbuilding, then hooks them with the scope of the storytelling. Looking forward to seeing where this tale takes us next!"---Christina Rice (Ann Dvorak: Hollywood's Forgotten Rebel,
