Following up an earthlike world 200 years removed from the present sounds interesting. I would like to follow on the adventures of Amanda and Paul in this new world.

The premise of this book is intriguing (and scarily possible), but the editing issues and the babies-in-tubes thing would bother me, expect. Great review!

Too bad about all those errors, how annoying. The story sounds pretty interesting. Wouldn't mind seeing this as a movie as well (I don't mind if it's close to reality, I figure it's kind of educational on a level). Thanks for the review.

Despite the errors, I think that I will take a look at this futuristic look of the wirld.

Even with the easily fixed spelling mistakes, I plan to read this one. I'm really interested in how the inhabitants contribute to this new world via their jobs.

Good review. This sounds like one right up my alley. I can't wait to sit down and read through it. I want to know if they survive or tear each other apart.

I'm a huge fan of science fiction and I think the premise sounds really interesting. I like how though the society is set in the future, there is a mix of fantasy and mystical elements as well as the past thrown in as the population restarts. It's a shame about all the errors though I'm sure once they're cleared up the book would be much better. Great and thorough review!

Nice review. I agree with you and several of the others, to bad about the editing. The overall concept seems interesting though. A slightly different take on the Apocalypse theme that seems to be growing ever more popular. Kind of reminds me of the show Terra Nova, except the difference being, Terra Nova was actually Earth a few million years in the past. I now will have to see how similar they are. They had really big spiders and lake monsters too.

Thanks for your review. I am intrigued by the storyline of this book. Something about a sci-fi book that explores earth many, many, years in the future. I learned a lot more about the characters and the direction the author took in the plot and history of earth from your review. The review was just interesting enough to make me want to find out more.

Thanks for the thorough and engaging review! Despite the numerous errors, I'm excited to see how Amanda and Paul live vastly different lives in Terra!

This book seems interesting about a group of people moving to a new planet, Terra to start third new lives. In this book also you will learn the consequences when there are few people not contributing.

Looking at the future about some two hundred years, the earth is on the verge of slowly disappearing. Serious problem existed where climate change was on the rise, rains didn't fall often and trouble existed where there were disputes over basic necessity, like water.
Moreover, The Life Trust group with connection back for over a century of years had plans to solve these problem.They gain access of all Government and Private Sectors. Also, their scientist research the universe to check out another suitable planet so they could transfer people from earth to the new Terra planet. Their best bet was to acquire a few spaceships from NASA, packed them with goods, gather all information from earth, placed a few private citizens and then connect straight to earth. But this idea had a few flaws and things got twisted.

Now there was chaos on Terra planet with the new settlers, discrimination was in the picture with those who had a few more shillings as oppose to those who were dirt poor, Tubers and originally developed humans got out of control.
Also, the new settlers were matched together before they were transferred to avoid over population. "From Earth To Terra" by Beverly Jenness expounded more on these settlers, trying to cope on a new planet, the obstacles they have to face and staying away from trouble of the different cliques.

Thanks for your review. This does sound like an interesting sci-if book. The animals on the new planet sound interesting but maybe not that giant spider! It’s too bad about the errors. Hopefully a final edit will tidy things up.

Sad that this has so many errors in it. It really had potential. I think the idea of moving to another planet and surviving seems interesting enough. Not sure how I feel about this embryo lab thing, though. However, you wrote a great review.

Sounds like a pretty interesting read. I’m really into sci fi so I might have to give it a go if I can get through it with so many errors. Unfortunately that is something that can really turn me off a book if the story isn’t good enough to make you see past it. Good job on the review.
