Produktbeschreibung

After a divorce and a career change, Alex Clark, is finding some normalcy in his life when he meets a strange man who weaves a story of aliens "seeding" the human population of Earth. Jack Goodman is a "Gardener" a machine sent to Earth long ago from a distant planet to tend to a new "crop" of humans. But his masters on Uor can't resist the temptation to tamper and they amuse themselves with contests based on social and political happenings on Earth. Alex learns that much of what he was taught about history and religion is wrong.
Apollo of Helios and his twin brother, Ares wealthy noblemen on Uor have inherited the Earth from their father. The "Garden of Eden" the name they gave the planet thousands of years ago is tended by quantum androids that look like humans but have incredible powers. The Uorians sent three of these "Gardeners" to Earth over 50,000 years ago with a stock of 9,000 frozen human embryos, which is the foundation for all humans on the planet today.
Jack, who serves Apollo, recruits Alex into a game that holds the Earth's future in the balance. If Alex and Jack win, Earth's energy problems could be solved forever; however, if they fail, new weapons of mass destruction will proliferate around the globe.

Autorenporträt

Fred McKibben is the author of the highly acclaimed Gardeners trilogy, Hot Times in the Garden of Eden, The Salt Castle, and The Carnival Road. The series has been described as suspense with strong elements of science fiction, politics, history, anthropology and romance. The allegorical story is particularly relevant in the current political environment where the rise of strongman rulers portends losses of individual freedom, knowledge growth, and creativity. The full series is also available as a compilation titled Seven Deadly Sinners.
In addition to the Gardeners trilogy, Fred has written The Shadow of Death (2016) and Sweet Dreams (2017). Both are murder mysteries featuring Eddie Rose, a semi-retired insurance investigator.
Fred lives in Southern Spain with his wife and two dogs. After many years as a finance executive and entrepreneur, he decided to try his hand at writing fiction. A More Perfect Union (expected release in 2019) will be the first of planned series of historical romance novels set in the early United States.
