When Does "The Radiant Dark" (2026) Take Place?
"The Radiant Dark" is a science fiction novel written by Alexandra Oliva that released April 28th, 2026. So when is "The Radiant Dark" set?
It takes place in the years:
We know this because the very first sentence of the book's prologue is: "On the night Carol Girard's son was supposed to have been born–February 3, 1980–something flashes in the sky." So it's probably February of 1980 AD at the start.
It takes place in the years:
1980 AD - 2034 AD
We know this because the very first sentence of the book's prologue is: "On the night Carol Girard's son was supposed to have been born–February 3, 1980–something flashes in the sky." So it's probably February of 1980 AD at the start.
In the final chapter, chapter thirty-three, the narrator tells us, "So approx. 110y total, writes Dimitri. 2092. That's fifty-eight more years." So we end in 2034 AD.
2,092 - 58 = 2,034.
Furthermore, there is (once again) at the start of this chapter a giant "2034".
Additionally, there is a section labeled "Epilogue" with a heading. Furthermore, the page before the first page of the epilogue is nothing but a straightforward "2138".
