The Station Eleven team of novel writer Emily St John Mandel and scripter Patrick Somerville are teaming up again after Station Eleven to adapt Mandel's next two novels, The Glass Hotel and Sea of Tranquility.
Neither is set in the same world as the post-apocalyptic saga. The Glass Hotel, published in 2020, is described as a "story of crisis and survival, greed and guilt, love and delusion" in which Jonathan Alkaitis's billion-dollar business is really nothing more than a game of smoke and mirrors. When his scheme collapses, it obliterates countless fortunes and devastates lives. Vincent, a bartender at the Hotel Caiette who had been posing as Jonathan's wife, walks away into the night. Years later, a victim of the fraud is hired to investigate after a woman has apparently vanished from the deck of a container ship between ports of call.
Sea of Tranquility, out later this momnth, is "a novel of art, time, love, and plague that takes the reader from Vancouver Island in 1912 to a dark colony on the moon three hundred years later,"
"Emily has a stunning new book about to come out called Sea of Tranquility," Somerville said. "It has the moon, time travel, and futuristic book tours, I think I've made it clear I'm a big fan of one of her earlier novels, but I gotta say— this is my favourite Emily novel. It's… incredible."
