Also available onKoboAmazonBarnesandNoble In a future where Earth is ravaged by the greed of the wealthy, one woman's desperate act of defiance becomes a journey of transformation and decolonization. Leia Wurahapt, a resolute Numunu (Comanche) woman, struggles to support her extended family in near-future Albuquerque. As head of a large household, she balances the weight of her ancestors' wisdom with the harsh realities of a world teetering on the edge of collapse. Working for a private corporation that exploits public resources, Leia finds herself helping construct escape ships bound for Mars, a last resort for the world's elite to flee their self-inflicted crisis. But Leia has other plans. Fueled by a fierce determination to protect her loved ones and reject the colonial structures that have oppressed her people for centuries, Leia and her former sister-in-law, Olga, hijack one of the ships. With their family and friends in tow, they embark on a voyage to the stars aboard The Futura, leaving Earth behind forever. What follows is an epic, multigenerational tale of survival, resilience, and rebirth spanning 30,000 years. As Many Ships As Stars invites readers to reimagine progress through traditional ways. Weyodi OldBear weaves a visionary narrative that is both a tribute to her heritage and a bold vision for the future.
