England is about to send the first manned mission to Terra-Two and found the first interstellar colony. The crew of the Damocles is made up of several seasoned senior astronauts, and under them is a crew of six teenagers who began training singlemindedly for this moment as children and were chosen from among hundreds of hopefuls for this mission. With the available technology, they will reach Terra-Two in 23 years. But, of course, things immediately begin to go wrong.
I absolutely could not put DO YOU DREAM OF TERRA-TWO? down. The book has an uneasy atmosphere and I was immediately drawn in. Each character was compelling in a different way, and I felt actually stressed when things went wrong for them.
I won't get too much into the plot since things take a turn pretty early on. I'll just say if you like books about people having FEELINGS in SPACE and commentary on the ethics of interstellar space travel, give this book a try.
Content warnings: suicide, eating disorder, physical abuse, emotional abuse, cancer, attempted murder, hallucinations.
