Zeera

6 X 9 Trade Soft Cover - 264 pages Less a fantasy of interstellar travel than a glance at human life's challenges, this provocative first novel is captivating... Zeera's mission on Earth is simple: get pregnant and bring human genes back to rejuvenate her planet's bloodlines. Her new world introduces passion and brilliance beyond her imagination. Soon she is struggling with questions of loyalty, betrayal and the most distrubing question of all: who has the right to decide who lives and dies. She achieves her goal, with a surprising twist. Then the unthinkable happens. Zeera discovers love, a transgression that forces her to test the limits of the all-powerful elders. Betrayed and alone, Zeera takes control of her own destiny. In the end, a need common to both peoples, survival, gives Zeera courage to make the most painful decision of her life.
