Here We Stand

Here We Stand by Karen Traviss is a 2023 publication from the author herself, featuring 614 pages in English. This installment in the Nomad series explores the challenges faced by a group of evacuees at Nomad Base, humanity’s most distant outpost. With their former home, Earth, in turmoil due to bioterrorism, the colonists grapple with the decision of whether to assist their old world by sharing advanced alien technology or to distance themselves from Earth’s chaos as they seek a fresh start.

Readers will find a narrative that delves into themes of trust and survival amid external threats and internal conflicts. As the colonists confront the possibility of an alien attack, they must also navigate the complexities of their relationships and past grievances that resurface with the re-establishment of contact with Earth. The story presents a tense atmosphere where the greatest danger may not only come from alien forces but also from the divisions within their own ranks.
