Abstract
The Endeavour is a series of interconnected short stories set in a far future where humanity has expanded across the galaxy. This galactic community is connected together through a series of transit gates and there seems no limit to human accomplishment, until a catastrophe known as the Collapse disables the gates, leaving people, planets, and entire solar systems to fend for themselves, isolated, alone in the dark. Three millennia later, one pocket of humanity, led by a twenty-five-hundred-year-old machine who has become a man, will reach into the stars aboard a ship called Endeavour, in search of answers, but to also reconnect with the human community, if there’s anyone still left. What they find will not only change them, but their history. The Endeavour is a journey to discover who we are, what it means to be human, and why history matters.
