Leviathan Song

The final frontier is conquered. Space is taken and being taken. But at what cost? And how? Once men sought to fly like birds. Now, they fly faster than the light of the sun. But were we really meant to go so fast? So far? So high? When does Icarus fall? In the strange and alien landscape of the warp, hyperspace, the space between spaces, men see visions, hear songs, and some never return. Those who do, sometimes see giant planets of gas and hydrogen, and hear murmured lullabies. Always before us lie the stars, and always behind, Earth. Which will we choose? A lifelong student of fantastical literature of all kinds, Aleksandr grew up fascinated with astronomy and the imagery inherent to space stories and science fiction.The stories of interstellar travel, and the perils of venturing from earth, the vast expanses of endless gemstone stars in the black vaults of space, these are the passions brought forth in this narrative. Inspired by stories such as Herbert's Dune, where the travel through the stars involves visions, and the mystical, combined with a love for the oldest traditions of literature, with all its tragedy and victory, led to this tale.
