520			_a"New Year's Wake: A Terran Empire Story" by Ann Wilson is a science fiction novel written in the early 1990s. Set in a futuristic version of Earth, the story unfolds on the Isle of Skye as it follows the unexpected events of New Year's Day. The narrative explores themes of duty, identity, and human connection against a backdrop of a collapsing political structure as the protagonist grapples with the sudden shift in her life from pilot to Empress following a personal tragedy. The plot centers around Susan Lindner, who experiences a plane crash just as she is returning from an assignment. She seeks refuge with the hospitable MacGregor family, where she finds warmth and companionship during a festive gathering. However, the mood shifts dramatically when Susan learns of the Emperor's death, forcing her to assume her new role as Empress amidst mourning and chaos. Throughout the story, the interactions with the MacGregor family highlight the values of community and support in times of distress, leading to a poignant conclusion where Susan returns the kindness shown to her by inviting them to participate in her coronation celebrations. The book intricately weaves personal struggles with overarching imperial duties, creating a rich tapestry of resilience and connection. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
