About this ebook
"A wonderfully entertaining debut novel." - Compelling Science Fiction
Reclaimed Earth Book 1
Car-En, a ringstation anthropologist on her first Earth field assignment, observes a Viking-like village in the Harz mountains. As Car-En secretly observes the Happdal villagers, she begins to see them as more than research subjects (especially Esper, a handsome bow-hunter). When Esper’s sister is taken by an otherwordly sword-wielding white-haired man, she can no longer stand by as a passive witness. Knowing the decision might end her career, she cuts off communication with her advisor and pursues the abductor into the mountains.

Reviews for The Sky Woman
3 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is an intriguing and absorbing book. The past is pulled convincingly through to the future, set against a backdrop of Earth history that hasn't yet happened, but plausibly could.It's clear an enormous amount of thought and research went into this book. In some places it felt a little too detail heavy, but with a sequel in the works, it might have been necessary. In the end, it all does help paint a vivid picture of the future the humans dwell in. The fantasy elements nicely offset the science fiction, emphasising the differences between the populations.The love interest factor could have been developed more, it almost feels like an afterthought, but it's appropriate that romance takes a back seat in this book.
