With humankind looking to Mars as the next planet to conquer, this story could be a possibility – but hopefully without the carnage.

Since the beginning of time, mother earth has weathered its cycles. Multiple ice ages have increased the reach of the polar ice caps, followed by mass melting once the earth warmed again. Plummeting meteors have had a major impact on the earth resulting in mass extinctions. Yet, over time, mother earth has always found a way to heal. New life begins again.

The year is now 2060. Earth has been dying in a way we have never seen before. Radiation from the sun has become poisonous. Animals have begun to go extinct. Life on Earth is coming to an immediate end. Scientists are desperately searching for ways to remain prosperous. Religion begs to differ.

I am fascinated by the depth in which cosmic forces were explained. The power of the universe, as told by astrologists, play a real part in the life of one’s soul. Each planet emits a unique attribute into space. The purpose of a person’s life can be read in the alignment of these planets. A soul needs to complete its pilgrimage to become whole.

I will say the ending is bitter-sweet. After much soul-searching, the survivors had to collectively decide upon their future. Humankind wasn’t the only species needing assistance in repopulating.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I look forward to reading other work by Ms. Glan ( )
