Product Description

Book Description
Over 6 million years in the future, after the Sun has become a Red Giant, mankind has another chance to establish it's civilisation on a terra-formed Jupiter, with the Genesis project. The expanding Sun has stripped away the great mantle of gas leaving a liveable world.

There is a problem however. The Gnathe also live there and when humanity decides to interfere in their affairs, a chain of events is set in motion that will forever change both societies.

From the Publisher
Using science fact as well as fiction to tell a remarkable story set in the far future, the author's knowledge and research of scientific details gives the novel an air of realism that enhances the story, making it believable and easy to imagine being a possible future, to show an eventual fate of the human race and of our Solar System.

4.0 out of 5 stars Genesis 2 Review, 16 Feb 2005
By Sarah (England) - See all my reviews
I have to say, I've been put off science fiction novels before now. I'm not totally sure why, though it could be because of the sort of things they have in them nowadays.
But this book was great! I actually got it at a sci fi convention (and got it signed, too!) on Friday, and finished it by Monday (I'm a fast reader). This book contains much in the way of descriptions, and I wasn't left with the feeling that things hadn't been explained properly in it.
The alien race - the Gnathe - have a system very similar to a dictatorship. They are a species with three sexes - male, female, and a different sort of female, who act as the rulers, and expect to be served. The third sex are the Brood Mothers - they carry the eggs of the mated male and female, and are able to manipulate the unborn children. The Brood Mothers also choose which males and females are mated to each other.
The book actually starts with a brief description of where mankind is at that point. I won't give much away, but the starting point of the story is with a Brood Mother who sees a different way forward for the Gnathe, but is actually sentenced to death for her different way of thinking. She is in fact rescued, and she and her rescuers are aided by Kamiel, a Guardian to the humans and modified apes who are inside a sort of Habitat as the air on the world is toxic to them.
All in all, I would say that this book is definitely worth buying. It is extremely well-written, and very hard to put down once you start. I can't wait for the next one!
