When Suh awoke from this coma, she had heightened intelligence and a clear vision that a creator-being was waiting for her on a distant world. Twenty years prior to the beginning of this novel, while still on Earth, Ren (then a young scientist) fell in love with a woman named Lee Suh-Mi, or “Suh,” who went into a coma during a hike, after encountering an alien plant growing in a forest. Renata “Ren” Ghali, is a woman who lives in a time surprisingly near to our own, but on a different planet. This is the central question at the heart of Emma Newman’s 2015 novel, Planetfall. What if someone offered you the chance to escape all of the issues you face in your life and start over on a distant planet with a new society? Would you take it… even if it came at a hidden price?
