Book Description

June 24, 1999
The end of the universe happened at around ten o'clock at night on 22 December 2032. It's just that humanity hasn't realized it yet. And the Chaga, the strange flora deposited from the stars, is still busy terraforming the tropics into someone else's terra. Gaby McAslan was once a hungry news reporter who compromised her relationship with UNECTA researcher Dr. Shepard for the sake of her story...but Gaby is no longer a journalist and she doesn't want to be a full-time mother, even though her child Serena is her last link with Shepard. Gaby's fire has gone out; she's gone soft. But the massive political and military upheavals that are rocking the world are about to drag her back into the action.

5.0 out of 5 stars Continuing the Chaga Story, September 18, 2008

This review is from: Kirinya (Paperback)
While not as good as the amazing Evolution's Shore, this sequel is still a 5-star book. McDonald turns from looking at how a world would react to seemingly non-intelligent aliens landing on earth to how those who survived would live their everyday lives. The story and the world are both fascinating, even if there are some moments that are uncomfortable. If you enjoyed Evolution's Shore, this book is worth getting.
