Synopsis

Suffering from work-related anxiety is bad enough, but what if your job involved a mission to rescue your entire world from extinction? Meet Ayathesti-compassionate, perfectionist, loner-the geneticist undergoing this stressful plight.

With planet Naratu dying, the only thing keeping the Mujai people from extinction is aerosolizing gold into the atmosphere. The Council has identified a planet abundant in the metal and has selected a team to gather preliminary information. Ayathesti accompanies the team on the eighty-seven-year flight. Her task? To collect and isolate DNA from an indigenous species to gene splice with their own. To create a hybrid species. The purpose? To establish a localized colony to supply gold as needed. But having a compassionate heart leaves Ayathesti with an inner conflict: show mercy and prevent the enslavement of a new species or ensure her people's survival?

Things grow even more complicated with Tiamet as mission leader. His intelligence, confidence, and drive are exactly what make him perfect for the position. But they are also why he's a perfect distraction for Ayathesti. Being in charge has challenges of its own, including making sure everyone is moving toward the same goal. And keeping up with changes as they arise has him juggling priorities. Given his history with Ayathesti, he's confident he can get her on board to do her part.

If Naratu is to survive, they both need to fill the demands of their roles. While Ayathesti wrestles with her sense of right and wrong, Tiamet faces the pressure of leading a successful mission, and both struggle to fight the pull drawing them together. Will Ayathesti compromise her morals and go through with her duties? Can Tiamet stay focused and return everyone home safely? Will there be enough time on the brief visit of this foreign land-a world to save their own-a planet they call Earth?

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Melody Kepler is an Architectural Drafter by day, Mom by evening, and writer by night. After seven years of working on the same project, she's ready to debut with Extension. As someone who enjoys learning about new things, one consistent area of interest is psychology. This has helped her create dynamic characters in her writing and aides in their authenticity. Creativity is a motivator, and Mel expresses this in more than just writing-she enjoys sketching portraits from still images. Also, being one of an analytical mind, she is taking control of the college education reins and working toward acquiring her Landscape Architecture degree. The goal she has in mind for this is urban planning. With it, she hopes to bring more nature and flow into the every day lives of those within the community.
