Project Hanuman is here. I hope you'll take a look as I think it's a pretty good space opera - no hero's journey here - this is about community, how we build back better and, of course, mind bending space battles in sentient ships.

Times are so difficult. Post-apocalyptic fiction is hard to read for me (since 2020 actually).
But these two books held me with their beautiful vibes of hope and humanity in quiet, everyday ways that are powerful for their sheer endurance. @tinywriterlaura.bsky.social @rainewilson.bsky.social ❤️
