A ROLLER-COASTER RIDE TO THE EDGE OF THE UNIVERSE

A RUTHLESS MINING CORPORATION AND THE LONE MOTHER WHO STANDS IN THEIR WAY

When Teagan Ward claims seven test-tube babies, conceived aboard a space habitat as an experiment to populate the stars, are her children, she triggers a fight that consumes all those she loves.

"Born in Space" chronicles a gripping tale of sacrifice, romance, and redemption. As life on Earth crumbles and the rich seek sanctuary in rotating space habitats, desire and ambition collide as a greedy billionaire mining boss and his scheming doctor seek to exploit the mineral-rich asteroids.

The seven children become enmeshed in the battle for interstellar resources, including an ancient crystal that holds the key to unlocking the universe's mysteries and buying the release of their fugitive mother. As alliances shift and betrayals unfold, the fate of worlds hangs in the balance. In the tradition of Ray Bradbury and William Gibson, "Born in Space: " is an engrossing journey into the depths of space and the human spirit. For fans of "Interstellar" and "2001: A Space Odyssey," this speculative fiction gem by Jeremy Clift promises an immersive experience.

AN ODE TO THE WONDEROUS BEAUTY OF LIFE

In the wake of the Great Unraveling, Earth is crumbling. Lawlessness and conflict over resources run rampant as the planet struggles to survive. And while the rich flee to their orbiting space habitats, others must fight for their chance at refuge, no matter the cost.

As corporations and governments plunder the riches of the stars, leaving a trail of space debris and pollution in their wake, an ambitious doctor seeks the key to creating life beyond Earth. But his mission to birth genetically engineered humans capable of surviving in the harsh conditions of space will change the universe in ways that no one could foresee.

And there's things in the universe far older and more powerful than humankind ...

Reviews

"A profound and full-bodied futuristic story of love, technology, and infinite outer space." - Kirkus Reviews. https: //www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/jeremy-clift/born-in-space/

"Clift skillfully navigates genre tropes, exploring artificial intelligence, corporate greed, and the ethical dilemmas of scientific experimentation with both familiarity and innovation. He subverts expectations, particularly in his portrayal of the personal costs of technological progress, where the consequences reach far beyond societal impact, striking at the heart of intimate relationships." - The Prairies Book Review. https: //theprairiesbookreview.com/?p=20264

"A gripping saga of love, betrayal, and redemption across the cosmos. With echoes of classic sci-fi masters and a contemporary twist, Clift's narrative captivates from start to finish, offering a thought-provoking exploration of humanity's place in the vast expanse of the universe."- NewInBooks.com

"Born in Space is a lush science fiction allegory for the strength of a mother's love and the unbreakable bonds of family." - Foreword Clarion Reviews.
