Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. In the far future, humanity governs space through The Compact-a system of rules, protocols, and boundaries designed to prevent catastrophe by keeping every action inside tolerance. Decisions are measured. Authority is distributed. No one person is meant to carry the full weight of consequence.Until a situation arises that no system can resolve.Captain Hale is not a hero. He is a professional who understands what the Compact cannot: that when lives are at stake and time runs out, someone must decide-and accept the blame if it goes wrong. When first contact with a cautious, deeply experienced alien civilization exposes the limits of humanity's carefully balanced systems, Hale's willingness to step forward becomes both a solution and a problem.As alien observers watch, human institutions respond the only way they know how, by trying to formalize judgment, automate responsibility, and ensure no individual must ever stand alone again. The result is a crisis not of violence, but of ownership: Who answers when rules fail? Who decides when every option is acceptable, and unacceptable?THE COMPACT: Inside Tolerance is a thoughtful, character-driven science fiction novel about responsibility in an age of systems, the danger of learning the wrong lesson from success, and what it costs a civilization to depend on people while trying not to need them. It asks a quiet but urgent question: What are we sent to protect-our rules, or each other? This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
