The Gantry

Ian's life hasn’t gone quite to plan. His business has collapsed, and taken his marriage with it. To escape, he enters the fledgeling world of freighting cargo to the stars, aboard the interstellar cargo vessel, the Gantry. He enters a world where the dangers of space team up with politics, religion and moral outrage, in an effort to kill him.
He enters a world where time is meaningless and stem cell therapy strips the years from the body, giving Ian a glimpse of immortality, while under threat of sudden death at every turn. He enters a world of solitude, where relationships struggle to exist, and human contact is a luxury which must be taken advantage of whenever it is available.
Set against the backdrop of rampant religious extremism on earth, the Gantry is a look at early, sub-light speed space-travel. Technically detailed it challenges social norms while examining a dystopian world where religious extremism is the order of the day. It looks at the physical and social side effects of hibernation, and prolonged absence from life. The Gantry is an enthralling tale which will leave you wondering what the future has in store.
