INTERSECTING ETERNITY (An EDEN.2 Sequel):
In 2073, humans settled on a planet they called Goldilocks, forging a relationship of interdependence and trust which allowed them to flourish. Then something went wrong.
One hundred and thirty years later, disasters threaten humanity’s survival as the population has forgotten the alliance it once forged with the world it inhabits. Alice, a young woman just stepping into adult love and responsibility, is navigating an increasingly hostile and dangerous society. Her great-great aunt Elena, teetering on the precipice between life and death, reaches into her past for stories that illuminate their present situation. Together, they seek a destiny which both honors the truth of Goldilocks and re-establishes a sustainable relationship with her. But time is running out to save a future for humanity on their new home planet.
I’ve delighted in reading science fiction and fantasy novels for decades and found Intersecting Eternity to be engrossing, riveting, and frequently surprising. The differences between Goldilocks and Earth are wonderfully subtle, while the character-driven plot kept me wondering how Alice would navigate her expanding and challenging world. I highly recommend immersing yourself in this engaging story!
