Discover a science fiction novel where mystery meets big ideas.
In Code of the Life Maker, a 21st-century colony ship is mysteriously rerouted from its original destination. As the crew grows increasingly uneasy, their leaders—who hold the truth—remain silent.
Hogan uses this setup to explore philosophical themes and weave in discussions of spirituality, religion, and theology in a thoughtful and non-judgmental way. Reminiscent of Clarke’s classic works and Mary Doria Russell’s explorations in The Sparrow, this novel shows that science fiction isn’t just about space battles—it’s about ideas that challenge conventional thinking.
Hogan’s work also reflects his anti-authoritarian views, suggesting that technological progress can upend old social norms.
