Enjoy the complete collection of Chris Farnell's 4-part satirical homage to space opera!
This Season Pass gives you all four books in the Fermi's Progress series with all their extras as they're released, for the price of three.
"Fresh, fun SF with a dark conceit."
Four planets. Four adventures. Four apocalypses.
A Dyson sphere, a philosophical zombie apocalypse, a giant airborne beehive and a galactic telesales scam. Each world brings new wonders, new dangers, and a planetary scale genocide. The Fermi crew must survive by what little wits they have as they bounce a trail of destruction across the galaxy.
"Simultaneously hilarious and tragic, a unique and fast-paced ride into new science fiction territory."
- Adrian Tchaikovsky
"A mindbending meditation on human (and inhuman) nature, Fermi's Progress both dances around answering the woefully 21st century question of 'Are we alone in the universe', while ruminating on whether we should be."
- Aaron J. Waltke, Co-Executive Producer, Star Trek: Prodigy
"Simultaneously a tribute to the classic TV SF 'planet of the week' format and a very literal demolition job of the same - and so smart that it's never afraid to be silly. Brilliant stuff."
- Nate Crowley, author of Notes from Small Planets
"Clever and strange, genre-bending and darkly funny, it’ll take you on a ride between myriad times and places, Fermi’s Paradox observed through the lens of interstellar call-centres like it was the grim spawn of The Dark Forest and Hitchhiker’s Guide, or the fleshy junction of Alien, Embassytown, and Office Space."
- Andrew Skinner, author of Steel Frame
"Fermi's Progress is fresh, fun SF with a dark conceit, dangerous thought experiments, thrilling action adventures, and lots of wit and warmth."
- Ken MacLeod
