Aprašymas

Adapted by Eisner Award-winning John J. Pearson from the Washington Post and #1 Audible bestselling duo, Rhett C. Bruno & Jaime Castle, comes THIS LONG VIGIL, a harrowing science fiction hardcover graphic novel that will leave you questioning exactly what it means to be alive.

After twenty-five years serving as the human Monitor of the Interstellar Ark, Hermes, Orion is scheduled to be placed back into hibernation with the other crewmembers.

Knowing he'll die there and be replaced before the ship's voyage is over, he decides that he won’t—can’t—accept that fate.

Whatever it takes, Orion will escape Hermes and see what's beyond, even if it means defying the regulations of his only friend—the ship-wide artificial intelligence known as Dan.

Original prose short story written by USA Today Bestseller Rhett C. Bruno and Audie Nominated author Jaime Castle.

Higgins (Lightless, Supernova, Radiate), I Am Mother (Australian cyberpunk sci-fi thriller), and Alfonso Cuarón’s Academy Award-winning film, Gravity, and the award-winning film Moon (directed by Duncan Jones).
