Would the Human's Meeting with the Merpeople Mean the Beginning or Ending of Their New Lives?
The survivors of unauthorized genetic experimentation escaped their captor and blasted away from a dying Earth. After five hundred years of travel, Space Ark IV has finally reached Demeter, their new home in the Tau Ceti system. Only months after landing, the impact of a huge asteroid on the other side of the ocean world raises a tsunami that nearly wipes out the colony on land leaving only the merfolk to pick up the pieces. They struggle to rebuild their colony while desperately searching for food to supply the topside colony. Their struggle for survival is made harder by the discovery of one merchild. Natives exist on Demeter! No one believes for the Space Ark would not have been sent if there were natives. But there are natives and they are approaching in huge numbers. Is it war after all the survivors have gone through? Brookwell's visually charged science fiction moves to the next plateau, in this first full-length novel by the author of "Ovid Revisited & Other Metamorphic Fantasies."
