Inhaltsangabe

The treaty is authentic. Everyone who signed it is dead. The people forced to honor it are still alive.
The Shared Passage Compact once kept three distant habitats connected. It also bound workers, machines, and future officeholders to obligations they never accepted. Now the beam corridor is failing, its scheduled shutdown is approaching, and Common Measure needs that same corridor to survive its thirteen-year journey to Lattice Reach.
At Mercy, physicist Rhea Maddox builds a phase network in which local operators can refuse dangerous loads without surrendering rescue. Aboard Common Measure, her husband Julian endures sustained acceleration, a damaged body, and negotiations conducted through records that outlive the people who made them. Each reply arrives from an earlier officeholder. Each solution risks becoming the next inherited command.
When a source withdraws and an operator is injured, the final deceleration can succeed only if Tamarisk, Long Harbor, Mica, two arriving vessels, and the workers who carry the heat accept separate present-tense terms. No founder, mediator, spouse, or institution can answer for them.
Across incompatible clocks, Rhea and Julian face a second question: whether a marriage can be renewed without turning an old promise into authority over the people they have become.
A Treaty for the Unborn is Book Two of The Distance of Law, a grounded hard-SF political thriller about rescue, labor, consent, and the future people asked to live inside agreements they never signed.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Darius Blackman is the pen name of Bryan Frazier, a soldier of 22 years, father of three daughters, and independent author whose work is built around discipline, pressure, legacy, survival, love, history, identity, and the standards people live by when life demands more from them.

Blackman's nonfiction foundation is The Darius Blackman Standards Series, a five-book leadership and self-development collection shaped heavily by the lessons he learned through more than two decades in the Army. Through books such as A Man With Direction, Hold Your Ground, Built for Pressure, The Disciplined Man, and The Provider's Discipline, he writes directly to men who are ready to stop drifting, build stronger habits, protect their peace, carry responsibility, control their emotions, manage pressure, and become dependable in the places where weakness costs the most.

But Blackman's writing does not stop at self-development. His fiction moves with the same concern for consequence, identity, and power. In the Empire of Kimmett series, including The Exodus of Kemet, Convergence War, Fractured Infinity, and Thorn of convergence, he builds an Afrofuturist universe where ancient legacy, hidden history, advanced civilizations, leadership, survival, and the future of Black identity collide across worlds.

His Khemara books, including The awakening of Khemara: The first signal and Khemara Unbound, continue his interest in awakening, transformation, mystery, and ordinary people being pulled into realities larger than they ever imagined. These stories reflect one of Blackman's strongest creative themes: the moment when a person realizes the life they thought they understood was only the beginning.
