Description
Some stories are epic.
The Earth is in a state of collapse, with wars breaking out over resources and an environment pushed to the edge by human greed.
Three living generation ships have been built with a combination of genetic mastery, artificial intelligence, technology, and raw materials harvested from the asteroid belt. This is the story of one of them—43 Ariadne, or Forever, as her inhabitants call her—a living world that carries the remaining hopes of humanity, and the three generations of scientists, engineers, and explorers working to colonize her.
From her humble beginnings as a seedling saved from disaster to the start of her journey across the void of space toward a new home for the human race, The Stark Divide tells the tales of the world, the people who made her, and the few who will become something altogether beyond human.
Humankind has just taken its first step toward the stars.

Advance Praise
"The Stark Divide" is a wonderfully imaginative novel of a bioformed generation ship’s genesis and launch. (The sentient, biologically-growing “ship” is named Ariadne.) I loved the exciting, scientifically-grounded concepts, the fast, urgent pacing, and a cast of engaging, complex characters with aspirations, guilt, and angers that threaten the project. It’s all-too-apropros a vision of a planet dying due to human-caused disasters, and the desperate race to “grow” a chance to reseed the human race among the stars. And, coincidentally, it’s the first in Coatsworth’s “Ariadne” series – so we share that name for very different fictional concepts. I also enjoyed the diverse cast of characters, all with complex histories and motivations -- from all races, genders, and sexual orientations, all accepted for who they are. A hopeful vision, indeed!
