Product Description
Discover a science fiction novel where mystery meets big ideas.
Summary:
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.

Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.

Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.
-
With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.

Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
