This Month’s Book:
The Darkness Outside Us by Eliot Schrefer
The Darkness Outside Us is about a young man named Ambrose who wakes up on the spaceship, the Coordinated Endeavor, with no memory of the launch. His goal is to reach Saturn’s moon, Titan, and rescue his missing sister, Minerva. He is joined by Kodiak Celius, a reserved crewmate from a rival nation, and the ship’s operating system, which speaks in the voice of Ambrose’s mother.
