Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Evolutions Child

, May 18, 2007
In a century filled with strife, the dogs of war are gathering once again. By 2092, climate change has devastated the planet and even thinned by incessant bloodshed, famine, and disease, Earth?s population exceeds 13 billion. Food and water are in short supply, refugees number in the hundreds of millions, and lawlessness abounds. Humanity is in turmoil. Religious zealots have seized upon this despair, claiming it is Gods punishment for mans misdeeds. Within the North American Federation, Christian theocracy has displaced democracy plunging once proud America into the 21st centurys version of the Dark Ages. On the other side of the planet, the Islamic Brotherhood controls territory from Indonesia, across Asia and the Middle East and well onto the African continent. India is the only holdout in that part of the world. Even China, the leading space faring nation on Earth, allies with the Brotherhood, providing them with science and technology for a price. Only within the European Union is there still a semblance of peace between Christians and Muslims but it has become increasingly strained. The nations of the world align along sectarian lines as the violence escalates. In sharp contrast, the Republic of Luna is a technocratic society where information flows freely and nothing is secret, a place governed by humanism and the laws of science. Out of necessity, life on an airless world burrows deep underground and to stay alive, Lunarians unlocked natures deepest secrets, gaining mastery over the genetic foundations of life itself. In doing so, they have become the first true extraterrestrial race. Back on Earth, when the scope of the Lunarians meddling in man?s evolution is revealed, they are loudly denounced as abominations. Prince Ahmed Mohammed Al Zarqowi, Caliph of the Islamic Brotherhood, believes he can use this prejudice to attack Luna with impunity and create mankinds first multi-planet empire. To the Caliph this is simply the next step in a plan to bring an unbelieving world under Islamic Law, unleashing forces intent on destroying the Republic before it is even fifty years old. Lazarus Sheffield is a Senior Analyst within the Department of Homeland Security. When he learns of the Brotherhoods plan, he becomes the highest ranking Federation officer to ever defect. Thus begins an adventure like no other, the fate of humankind hanging in the balance.
