Intro to Depravity - Character Profiles

The Stars Now Unclaimed is Drew Williams’ debut novel, a tightly character-focused space opera novel set in a universe where an event known as “the pulse” has resulted in remarkable effects in the years since it happened. The pulse affected inhabited planets randomly, but in many cases it changed local conditions (for reasons best left at “sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”) to make higher levels of technology impossible. The more advanced the tech, the faster it burns out: some planets have been reduced to a level where horses and carts are the only reasonable form of transport, while others were hardly affected at all.

For anyone who’s interested, the books take place in a future where an event called the Pulse has caused large amounts of technology to fail - every planet is affected to different levels, with some barely touched and others unable to even generate electricity. Jane, an extremely adept soldier, travels to these worlds in search of so-called ‘gifted children’, who display abilities such as telekinesis. One of these children is Esa - a 14 year old orphan with unusually strong powers.
