“We can’t return to Earth,” Larkin said. “There are seven hundred thousand of us. What are you going to do with us, Dr. Drake?”
Richard Drake didn’t take the Church of Lost Eden seriously — until that surviving 20th century cult gave him the chance to fulfil a lifelong dream.
His job is to transform a distant, hostile planet into a new human Eden. And he is provided with the resources, the time and the technology for the greatest engineering feat in human history.
But man does not live by bread alone — and water and free oxygen are not enough to keep the inhabitants of New Earth satisfied.
They want a Creator to worship.
And Richard is the top candidate for the job ...
Ancient Heavens is an intriguing and thrilling story of terraforming and human vices in alien territory.
