Constellation

Seven years after a chain reaction of orbital debris blinded the planet, Erik Sundqvist repairs radios and water pumps along the Gulf of Bothnia, trading knowledge for bread. Then a faint pulse arrives on a frequency no one should be able to hear: navigational data from a satellite that survived. The Turku Collective wants it locked behind its walls. Erik wants it given away. Between them stands a twelve-year-old boy who forgets nothing.
