Relics of Dawn

Superstorms rage. Cities crumble to dust. As Kaia’s world dies, who should she trust? Part hard sci-fi, part epic mystery, Relics of Dawn is a time-twisting tale of audacity, conspiracy, and survival at all costs. On a blistering day in 2296, the Council unveiled the Dawn Project. Artificial volcanic eruptions and precision meteor impacts flashed on the viewscreens in every home. In that instant, everyone understood there was no safe way out of this mess. To save the planet, they must first leave it behind. And so, a civilization on the brink began its exodus to the heavens. Biologist Kaia Badra and her small team of scientists are keeping an eye on phase one from orbit. She is dreaming about life after the project when her friend discovers an anomaly in the data stream. The updated simulation shows their daring act of creation could tip toward apocalyptic destruction, but why? A controversial theory from a geologist named Alan Pearce may be the answer. His peers called the backup plan insane because he claims it came from buried clues in Earth’s ancient ruins. Separated by time and bound by courage, Kaia and Alan work to combine long-lost knowledge with cutting-edge science in a desperate attempt to rewrite the past and save their future. “Relics of Dawn is such a nice mix of believable science fiction and character development. It sucked me in - which doesn't happen very often - and kept me hooked until the end. All in all, a lot of fun!” “Without being preachy, this ambitious epic tale weaves anthropology, climate science, physics, politics, and science fiction into a truly deep time saga. It makes critical connections from our past roots to our future potential, whether that be salvation or ruin. Amazing!” The complete trilogy includes: • Prologue • Act 1: Eruption • Act 2: Impact • Act 3: Revelation • Epilogue • Afterword • Research notes from the author Third Edition updated based on reader input, with corrections, improved pacing, and the latest science.
