Elena Dorothy Bowman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1999

From The Cover: What thread connects a 111-year-old-mystery; people who vanished ten years before the new millennium; and the first space-exploration starship, Earth Star-I, lost in deep space fifty-one years later? Is there a connection between these unexplained disappearances and a village situated along the rocky coast of New England, a place out of time, called Sarah's Landing? Joshua Morgan, the Astronaut/Biologist scratched from the ill-fated flight, had the determination to seek out the answers. Slowly, almost magnetically, he is drawn to Sarah's Landing. Little does he know his quest will take him to the far reaches of space and to an alien planet no one knew existed. A quadrangle develops when the main characters, Joshua, Alexandra, Harry, and the alien leader's daughter Adrianne, are helplessly caught in the entanglement of an affair that spans two different planets light years apart. Joshua discovers that his love for two women, results in the birth of two sons--siblings--one! from the alien planet Theon, and one from Earth, who are empowered with mind-linking capabilities.

4.0 out of 5 stars Melds a few classic sci-fi stories into one mystery thread, June 1, 2010

By 

Christopher P. Obert (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sarah's Landing (Episode I, The Sarah's Landing Series) (Paperback)

This Sci-Fi mystery is a mix of old and new themes with a little New England village thrown in the mix. It is fast moving and at times jumps around leaving the reader little time to catch their breath. The idea behind the story is interesting and melds a few classic sci-fi stories into one mystery thread. The book ends very suddenly and leaves the reader scrambling for part two.

5.0 out of 5 stars A spellbinding tale to a planet in an undiscovered galaxy!, October 18, 2002

This review is from: Publisher No Longer Exists (Hardcover)

Even those who are not sure they are science fiction fans may be swept up in Sarah's Landing-I, a spellbinding tale which takes the reader from the rocky shores of a small New England town to a planet in an undiscovered galaxy thousands of light years away. The wonder of it is that the author has managed to tell the tale of astronaut/biologist Joshua Morgan so convincingly. Her down-to-earth approach, soaring imagination and her expertise in software engineering are a winning combination. The kinds of experiences that her characters encounter have the ring of truth to them.

Set in the year 2055, the book centers around the hero's attempts to solve the 111-year-old mystery of people who vanished 10 years before the new millennium, and the loss of the first starship, Earth Star-I which vanished 51 years later.

This fast-paced novel, which incidentally, is also a first-rate love story, will undoubtedly pull readers in. Bowman's powers of description are second to none. Here is a book that is difficult to put down - a real page turner.

This review is from: Sarah's Landing (Episode I) (Audio Cassette)

It's so nice to read a book that isn't predictable. There's amazing twists and turns that just kept me turning pages. I had to read it in one sitting as I couldn't put it down. I can't wait for the next one!
