Description
On an Earth ravaged by global warming, tensions escalate between the Humans still clinging to the scorched wasteland of the Barrens and the humanoid subspecies who have inherited the aftermath. Redeemers — Human scientists dedicated to resurrecting the land at any cost — unleashed the Medusa Plague that entombed the undersea reef-cities of Aquarius in stone. Megalops, an Aquarian biosculptor driven mad with grief by the slaughter of his mate and daughter, responded to these attacks by releasing the Vendetta Virus to devastate Redeemer enclaves and ultimately incite an Aquarian civil war.
Now, one Redeemer traumatized by the covert conflict exposes all details of these tragic events. Instead of forcing bitter enemies to stand down, as she hoped, the revelation makes both sides more desperate and pushes the world toward a confrontation that threatens to destroy them all. Ocypode, the Aquarian Atavism, and his comrades have one final chance to avert global catastrophe. Can he fulfill the prophecy of the Storm-Slayer and prevent the storm of storms from obliterating all humanoid life on Earth?
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"Price of Eden provides a fast-paced romp through a world that holds different, competing options for survival, and considers both the sacrifices of war and the impossible circumstances of continued existence. As moral and ethical questions about friendships and associations permeate a greater story of this war's impact on all involved, Price of Eden evolves beyond bloodlust and outrage to walk a delicate line between a survival story and a political sci-fi thriller.
Fans of his prior books will appreciate the unexpected directions Brian Burt takes as he ultimately considers the real nature and definition of 'Eden' and the price all will pay to forge new paths towards peace."
— MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW, Diane Donovan, Senior eBook Reviewer
"The Aquarian universe is very complex and very well constructed, the characters are well-rounded and fully developed, and the atmosphere of the story is very dramatic and tense. The name of the novel [Price of Eden] suits the story really well. The dialogues are crisp, the story is fast paced, and the plot is the best science fiction I have ever read, which is all thanks to the writing style of Brian Burt! Simply brilliant and more than fantastic."
— READERS' FAVORITE, 5 Stars
"It can be hard to standout in the sci-fi genre, but Brian Burt’s series has emerged with a visionary world and an equally imaginative plot, earning Price of Eden 4 out of 4 stars. I highly recommend this enchanting, underwater sci-fi adventure to readers who enjoy sci-fi/fantasy and are looking for something quite different from the usual options in the genre. The futuristic look at climate change and scientific advancement are well played out in this compellingly immersive tale."
