If You Hear This: A Novel of Final Transmission

By S.P. Wagner

The colony ship Mercy of Thessaly was built to carry humanity forward. It was never meant to ask so much of the people aboard.
When a catastrophic systems failure strikes near journey's end, survival narrows with brutal speed. The children in cryosleep may still have a future. For the awakened adults, what remains is something harder: deciding what can still be preserved.
Julia Ortega, the ship's senior communications officer, is tasked with recording the final messages of those who know their voices may be all they have left to give. Then she discovers one more terrible truth: not every message can be sent.
As the ship's failing systems force impossible choices about memory, duty, and who will be heard, Julia must help hold her fractured community together and face the words she has never known how to say to her own daughter.
If You Hear This is a science-fiction novel about love, distance, sacrifice, and the fragile mercy of being heard.
