THE MILKY WAY tells the history and evolution of our universe, as well as humanity's understanding of it... but it's all told from the Milky Way's perspective!

With irreverent sass, aloof wisdom, and surprising vulnerability, the galaxy we call home gives us the autobiography of the eon.

What are people saying about it?

"What an exciting way to learn about everything in the universe, from its earliest moments to star births and deaths. Only here will you learn what the Milky Way thinks of its neighbors. McTier invents the genre of cosmic gossip -- what fun it is!”

—Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, author of The Disordered Cosmos

"A direct, fun, and charming mix of the science, folklore, and history of our Milky Way galaxy."

—Ryan North, New York Times bestselling author of How to Invent Everything

"Turns out, the Milky Way has a sense of humor, an attitude, and, frankly, isn’t super impressed with us as of late. If you’re looking for a fun and unique way to learn about astrophysics – this is the book for you!"

—Kelly Weinersmith, New York Times bestselling author of Soonish

"“Brilliantly blending astrophysics and mythology, McTier has crafted an out of this world work of genius. The Milky Way is a remarkably clever, eye-opening entry into the astrophysics cannon that radically changes our perspective on space and our place in the vast cosmos."

—Stephon Alexander, author of Fear of a Black Universe

"McTier has crafted an out of this world work of genius."
