Book Cover & Preview Text
Their rocket-ship sped on through the inky depths of space towards Mothership. Suddenly a pulsating red light disturbed them and a Nubian soldier entered the observation area. "We must change course at once," he said. The rocket suddenly swung about and Eve and Adam were hurled sideways. The noise was horrendous as the jets screamed shrilly. Eve glanced through the porthole and saw a huge ball of ice and rock rolling towards their tiny craft.
The most precious vessel of the whole fleet had crashed and burned; Mothership was no more. It had travelled across millions of miles for almost two hundred years only to perish in the mountains on the blue planet. Now the space travellers from HomeStar were doomed to remain on Earth. They would have to survive with no help from Mothership and the scientists who died aboard her. Ra's greed had condemmed them all to scratching a living like the Earthlings. Their future now lay in the hands of people like the genius, Seti Pharaoh.

About the Book
It became obvious to the people of HomeStar that their planet was doomed. The twin suns were on a collision course and the planet was burning up. The rivers were polluted and life would soon be extinct. A mass exodus was their only chance of survival.
Helped by god-like beings named Abif, they built gigantic space ships capable of transporting them and their animals to a new planet.
Twelve ships carried them on a long journey through the realms of space to the Milky Way Galaxy where it was said they would find a land of milk and honey, suitable for them to colonize.
We meet the Pharaoh family and travel with them; seeing how the young ones live aboard the ships and follow their adventures. All seems tranquil on the flagship "Egypt" but there is a problem as you are about to discover. Underlying this peaceful existance is an undercurrent of jealousy and hatred.
There is a blossoming of forbidden love between Eve, a Royal Princess and Adam, a Dark One. Eve's brother, Ra is furious as he is expected to marry Eve and thus carry on the pure Pharaoh Bloodline.
At last the ships pass through the heat barrier and land on the Blue Planet. Here they try to forge an existence and using their skills and equipment they endeavour to create the civilisation they enjoyed on HomeStar.
The feud boils over again and mayhem ensues when an untimely death leads to civil war.
Can they survive? Their fate is in the lap of the gods and unlikely help from a tribe of Earthlings.
A story of good versus evil with a helping of adventure and a little romance thrown in.
Could these people be our ancestors? Read on and decide for yourself.
About the Author
J R Pearce Edwards lives in Surrey. Married with two grown children J R is now retired and writes full time.
Having been to school in the late fifties and concentrating more on sport than education, J R was lucky to get into teacher's training college at all and studied literature and physical education. At age 21 J R was a member of the England squad at the Commonwealth Games.
Took up motor-cycle riding and was a bit of a rocker in the sixties.
Hobbies are reading, watching sport, photography and travel. J R white-water rafted the Zambezi three years ago and rates the experience as the most exciting ever with class 5 rapids all the way.
Now widely travelled with several trips to Egypt which led to the writing of this novel. J R has also visited Machu Picchu in Peru and the Aztec and Mayan pyramids in Mexico.
"Wherever we humans came from originally is a mystery," says J R. "I don't believe we evolved by chance and I have reservations about the status of mankind in Darwin's Theory of Evolution. The way this planet runs like clockwork had to be thoroughly planned. The question is; who was the inventor?"
J R began writing novels in later life and now with two mystery novels under the belt, J R has written this fantasty sci-fi book at the request of his son-in-law.
