In the sequel to Desert Eden, the children of the scientists who entered the sealed dome of Biosphere Seven twenty years earlier to escape a deadly plague begin to grow restless in their hermetically sealed world and long to leave. Original.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
This sequel to Desert Eden continues to peer beyond the end of the world as we know it, and the view is disappointingly bland. The earlier work introduced an interesting premise: in the near future a virus kills all but a handful of immune humans and the residents of a sealed, self-supporting biosphere in Texas. Now, only 20 years later, the "Insiders" and "Outsiders" largely ignore each other, and the Outsiders sound increasingly like a romanticized tribe of American Indians. Young Willow Gray Wolf, for instance, is called "Spirit Woman, the voice of God in the land of the forsaken." Inside the sphere the older scientists are concerned about their own genetic survival, and their teenage offspring yearn for the wider pastures of the Texas desert. Meanwhile, over in North Africa, self-appointed demigod Zechar al Maghrib is collecting followers and will clearly cause trouble in an upcoming volume. Not only are Morgan's predictable teenagers and self-involved adults tedious, the author passes up the potential for tension between Insiders and Outsiders to follow these groups separately.

Excellent Read,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Beyond Eden (Paperback)
I couldn't get enough of this story. The 3 books in the series are among the best I have ever read. Desert Eden, Beyond Eden, Future Eden are all keepers to reread again someday. The story is very different from the usual run of the mill survival plots. It's excellent.
