I have found myself yearning for an ark story that continues when the ark actually arrives at its destination, be it after a few years of travel including hyperspace jumps, or after generations of ship-bound human evolution. Most of such stories focus on the building of the ark, the departure, and sometimes the trip itself. Second, I really like “ark” stories, where humans leave Earth for whatever reason in a one-way spaceship on a mission to colonize another world. First, I can’t get enough time travel books (just check my blog category for that), and Pathfinder is, above all, a story where time travel contributes to the plot in a major way. There are many flaws with this book, but several overarching facts made me love and savor it. Three of the main protagonists are kids aged 13 to 16, and the writing reminded me of Stephen King. Pathfinder is listed as a Young Adults book. I think of Card as a science fiction writer primarily, but he writes fantasy stories very well.
