Recent Release, "Eden Clipper," from Hawes & Jenkins Author David Ford, Presents Humanity's Boldest Venture: a 500-Person Voyage to a Habitable World
Tulsa, OK, September 22, 2026 --(PR.com)-- David Ford has completed a new book, "Eden Clipper," that imagines the impossible made real through a gravity drive discovered in a Europa laboratory. When humanity discovers a habitable world orbiting a distant star, the dream of reaching it seems forever beyond grasp—until the physics of the universe itself yields a path. Five hundred carefully selected people board the generation ship Eden Clipper, leaving the Solar System behind with no prospect of return. They carry with them the hopes of civilization and the burden of survival, embarking on a journey that will demand everything they have.
Ford was born in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where his father's career as an English teacher profoundly shaped his relationship with language and storytelling. A science enthusiast drawn to questions of ethics and human resilience, Ford brings a deep understanding of both rigorous scientific inquiry and the psychological weight of existential challenges. His fascination with how people endure, adapt, and transform under extraordinary pressure infuses every page of this debut novel with authenticity and emotional resonance.
"Eden Clipper" explores the profound themes of sacrifice, community, and self-discovery as the crew transforms into something unprecedented: a society in motion, bound together by necessity and hope. Children are born in the void and learn to pilot the ship. Engineers assume leadership roles they never anticipated. Partnerships deepen and fracture. When Eden finally appears on the horizon, breathtaking in its beauty yet harboring dangers both subtle and profound, the crew discovers that reaching a new world is only the beginning. Survival demands not just technological mastery, but humility, care, and the willingness to become worthy of the opportunity they have been given.
"This novel emerged from my desire to explore what happens when we remove all safety nets," said Ford. "These are ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances, and their journey forced me to ask what we're truly made of when everything familiar is left behind."
Published by Hawes & Jenkins, David Ford's ambitious work invites readers into a richly imagined future where the boundaries between science and human drama dissolve completely. "Eden Clipper" stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of shared purpose.
Readers who wish to experience this enthralling work can purchase "Eden Clipper" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
