The Challenge

Book One of the Covenant Breach Trilogy

Aboard the generation starship Covenant, Commander Elena Shepherd discovers her ancestor's journal revealing a shocking truth: the ship's constitutional governance system has been systematically dismantled over generations.

As Elena investigates further, she uncovers how emergency powers were never relinquished, how the meaning of the ship's covenant was reinterpreted beyond recognition, and how a privileged political class emerged with special immunities and benefits.

With a small group of allies from all generations of the ship's journey, Elena must challenge the powerful Chief Arbiter Hammond and his "Living Ship Doctrine" before the last vestiges of constitutional governance are lost forever.

Alan Dinall

Constitutional Scholar and Science Fiction Author

Alan Dinall combines his expertise in constitutional law with a passion for science fiction to create thought-provoking narratives that explore fundamental questions about governance, rights, and the rule of law.

His Covenant Breach trilogy draws on extensive research into constitutional principles, oath violations, jurisdictional overreach, and the transformation of representative bodies into privileged political classes.

Through the allegorical setting of a generation starship, Dinall examines how constitutional violations that would be obvious if implemented all at once become accepted when introduced gradually across generations.
