The sequel to Beasts in the Garden

John is alive. Barely.

Worse, Hana is lying to him.

Hana’s Hail Mary attempt to save John’s life worked. But they’ve ended up further in time than intended, light-years from their destination—on Dawkins, a colony world they know nothing about.

…A colony that has cloned Hana and other prominent scientists—and seems to have created the near-perfect city of Twilight.

But they’re about to discover that Twilight is built on lies. Lies that could tear them apart—and condemn Hana to a fate worse than death.

This is not a standalone novel. Reading Beasts in the Garden first is strongly recommended.

Instead he and his team find Hana missing and a large part of the outpost destroyed.

John’s team suspects suicide.  John knows Hana would never give up so easily.

John and Hana are very different people. Their relationship was a fluke born of proximity and convenience. But when he discovers her Hail Mary attempt to return to Earth with a dangerous, experimental faster-than-light vessel, he has to follow her.

But it isn’t where Hana has gone that is the real surprise. It’s when … 

Vessels damaged, fighting for survival, Hana and John struggle to rebuild the basics of civilization from scratch. They’re in a world where unboiled water or an untreated cut can result in death, and four-legged predators lurk in the trees.

But the greatest threats to Hana and John are almost human …
