Riters

Four generations in space, searching for a new world, and today they will learn the truth about how their insignificant band came to command the monolithic ship, known as Protostar...exactly, one hundred years from the day they first stepped aboard. Roy Harris has concocted a story that mixes hard science fiction and precocious fantasy, with more than a splash of the bizarre and perverse. One audacious surprise after the next, the pace is relentless, and the unexpected is the only thing you can count on. "Riters" embodies the spirit of such works as "Catch 22," and the critically acclaimed, cult classic by Richard Farina, "Been Down, So Long, It Looks Like Up to Me." Combining the absurd and insightful, hysterical and tragic, irreverent and sacred, Harris choreographs these opposites to an unexpected embrace, in a future far stranger than one ruled by machines -- the inspired result is "Riters." It's also the story of four couples attempting to protect and nurture their connections in the burgeoning chaos of their times. From the depths of the NORAD, command center, to the palatial suites in Protostar, their passion lights the way, in the last ditch effort lo provide civilization with a new home.
