Opis

The Waterborn Saga does in many ways follow on from two previous narrative non-fiction books, relating to social and environmental problems. These in turn highlight factors and issues that almost certainly; do threaten the continuity of life on Earth. So there is, even in these works of fiction, a message, perhaps a reminder, a warning to us all. Having said that, the story takes us into the lives and minds of both those who, even as they are facing certain death, are going to extraordinary lengths to reach out to those they believe will come after them. We, to some extent follow the stages of regeneration which produces a new species, then become part of their lives as they evolve, sharing in their joys and the sorrows, their successes and their failures. As the Waterborn experience the irresistible attraction of infinity in the void between the stars, we too will feel drawn to become one with the unknown. It is impossible to assign this book any particular genre because it covers many. Consider, mental telepathy and telekinetic levitation, venturing into the shadowy realm of the paranormal, using our psychic powers in battles pitched against the dark powers of the occult, science fiction as our evolving race become part of an advanced space travelling Empire. Fantasy and mythology are an integral part of their ancestry, and as they reach millions of years into the future, they merge as one, forming the story of which we are part; we share in the lives of the Waterborn as they carry us into the worlds of the future. Within us are the seeds of their existence, this planet once, was the source of our lives and now it is theirs.
