The Story

On the bridge of a spaceship from America, the crew sees their destination planet, and the end to their 2,000 year journey from a dying planet Earth. What they don’t see is that the planet’s current residents, descendants from non-white, non-European countries, have already established a colony, and they are not eager to welcome 100,000 undesirable Americans.

Portland Phoenix Review

“Pointed and very entertaining... Last Ship channels classic sci-fi tropes to pose challenging questions about race, immigration ethics and politics, the legacy of hegemony, and the plasticity of historical narrative.”
