5.0 out of 5 stars A priestess vies with evil mogul over engineered children in this rollicking space odyssey
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2024
Jeremy Clift, a former foreign correspondent, brings that strong background to imagining a near-future in the next frontier of space, where competition for control of the lucrative interstellar asteroid mining business triggers a fight for the resources of the Moon.

The battle embroils seven infants incubated in a lab as part of an experiment to breed inhabitants off-Earth for future space colonies. It sparks a race against time to free their fugitive mother anointed as an alien Priestess held captive by the power-hungry head of a global mining consortium..

As corporations and governments plunder the riches of the stars, leaving a trail of space debris and pollution in their wake, an ambitious doctor seeks the key to creating life beyond Earth. But his mission to birth genetically engineered humans capable of surviving in the harsh conditions of space will change the universe in ways that no one could foresee.

If journalism is the first draft of history, then science fiction might be viewed as the first draft of the future. Clift has turned his research and reporting skills to create a compelling story with strong female characters, moral dilemmas, and stories of alien encounters.

I expect this will be the first of a series of SF books on the coming conflicts of near-earth habitats by this talented author.
