Review - The Brightness Between Us by Eliot Shrefer
My rating: 
It’s been 17 years since Kodiak and Ambrose landed on the planet they were sent to colonize. The planet was not the earthly paradise they were expecting. Few of the plants and animals they bought with them can grow well, and only two of the children whose embryos they grew have survived. There were so many deaths they stopping trying. Back on earth, 30,000 years earlier, the original Ambrose and Kodiak are dealing with the truth: There never was a rescue mission to Titan.
