The Strings Of Us - A serial by Graeme Brandham
A work in progress
The Strings of Us is a Sci-Fi adventure story set in an alternate universe where Humans and Rabbits alike have gained self-awareness.
‘The story follows a historian who abandons his newborn child for a mission he doesn’t understand, a soldier haunted by a past he can’t escape, and a crew of rabbits who can literally adjust their own gravity towards the centre of the galaxy. Thrown together on an impossible ship bound for the stars, they must navigate their own trauma, a dangerous secret, and the growing suspicion that the strings connecting them are part of a much older design. It’s a story about finding your family at the end of the universe.’
Genre: Sci-Fi | Cli-fi | Spiritual Fiction | Magical Realism | Historical Fiction | Whimsy | Alternative Universe.

Cas’shya, armed with a new perspective, heads towards her first day of work with her new colleague, Elias. The meeting, fortunately, involves one of her favourite rooms on the entire ship, not least because it makes her fur stand on end. The hologram room.
