Beneath An Alien Sun

After the Apocalypse, strange visitors arrive, presumably to "save" what's left of humanity. For 2000 years, their rule goes unquestioned. One day, a teenaged girl hears a voice that could change everything. Long before Ava Blue's discovery, the wayward son of a tech mogul returns from Europe to rebuild his life. But 2101 AD has other plans for Merlin Stone, America and Terra. Misleading reports of a so-called "space hurricane" herald the deaths of billions. Sickened by the disclosure, Merlin rejects his father's invitation to join the secret Deo exodus to Mars.

In 4104 AD, Ava uncovers Merlin's buried recordings of Terra's most horrific era. His Notes reveal a story of humanity that refutes the teachings of the ruling Keepers. Mysterious forces lead Ava and friends through a timeway back to 2104, where they become unwitting protagonists of a spectacle viewed by a raucous intergalactic crowd. The timeleapers' life and death choices will impact the fate of humanity, for better or worse.

R. Garcia Vazquez's science fiction adventure blends cyberpunk, dystopian, and post-apocalyptic elements with a touch of the supernatural, along with questions about power, greed and human identity. This speculative fiction epic targets a central question posed by Philip K Dick: What constitutes the authentic human being?
