Shortly before the occupants of ARKSHIP 282 make planet fall, their leader's rules for their new home planet are finally revealed. Confronted by a set of unexpected, challenging and contradictory orders, they do their best to comply...but things don't go according to plan! With a light touch and tight, snappy narrative "BIRTHRIGHT" explores the dark issues of class, entitlement, and the blind adhearance to authority. BIRTHRIGHT, (a novella) is the second installment in Gerard St Clare's "ARKSHIP ARCHIVES" short fiction Sci Fi series. BIRTHRIGHT is a more than worthy follow up to the brilliant"APEMAN", the opening book in the series. St Clare writes with a vision so much bigger than the short story form.
