This is earth-bound science fiction, an exploration of the Principle of Universal Love. - The novel begins an epic story that spans eight books. The complete series, The Lodging for the Rose, presents a science fantasy where universal love slowly blossoms into a force for universal good in the shadow of a nuclear armed world. This opening novel unfolds a fantasy that appears as bright and as distant from our present world as the Morning Star. The fantasy is a science romance with dreams about freedom powered by scientific principles of the largely 'unexplored country' of a universe of love that has no boundaries. - In the novel, we are touched by challenges of universal love in the form of a love story. Its romance offers more than just an escape from tragedy and from the conventional world. It cuts deep into marriage, sex and also the erotic, and lays bare their paradoxes in a kaleidoscope of bewildering experiences. Underneath unfolds a layer of science that is still totally new. In the process of the discovery of it, romance becomes uplifted with a brighter joy. Even the sexual and the erotic become enriched, as we enrich the world and one another in order to avoid the ever-present danger of a nuclear war.
