Overview

Descender is the title of a new and original science fiction drama in the form of a graphic novel. This first book tells the story of TIM-21, a child-like android who wakes up in a mining colony on the planet Dirishu 6. TIM-21 and his companions struggle to stay alive in a universe where all androids have been outlawed and bounty hunters lurk on every planet. Lemire pits humanity against machine, and world against world, to create a sprawling epic.
