![]() ![]() Drayden concentrates on an African-based, female-dominated society with polyamorous marriages and strong emphasis on family lines, and she does an excellent job of showing the strengths and weaknesses of such a system. There are ten different groups, each with a different social system – we see one in detail through Drayden’s characters, and only get glimpses of a few others. The people “terraform” the interior of the beasts, exploiting both the beasts’ internal systems and the biota that have adapted to live inside them as those systems are exhausted, the society has to move from one beast to another. ![]() In Escaping Exodus, people use a pod of space whales as generation ships to escape an (unnamed) catastrophe on Earth. ![]() This is a classic SF trope: Drayden takes it to new places. One rises, one falls, and their complex and forbidden relationship causes a major rupture in the society. On a generation ship, two young people from different classes meet and fall in love. ![]()
