Product Description A fantasy novel of the vast possibility of the future if one can only get through the past.Hardocver with dustjacket 368 pages From the Author In writing this, my second book, I wanted to look at two mother/daughter relationships. I was interested in how a person could forgive or at least accept the past in order to survive the future. I have learned a great deal about people and how they effect each other in writing this book.It was also a blast to create several "alien" environments that would alienate the reader in the process . . . I hope. From the Inside Flap -Memory is the alien within-The Council of United Worlds faces certain annihilation from the warlike Clans of Dalar and their fierce blue AcTyn legions. In desperation, the Council abducts Alaine Davidson from Earth to negotiate a peace accord on their behalf. For once, her lack of memory is considered an asset and perhaps even the key to end the killing. Unfortunately, Dartan, the Clan's reluctant envoy, is a warrior and has little experience with compromise. He also has a lousy sense of humor. As the negotiation escalate, Alaine must uncover the turth and survive the legacy of her own forgotten past. About the Author On a solo, around-the-world bicycle trip, Matthew learned that life does not have to be perfect to be enjoyed. After pursuing a variety of interests including: designing sound for live theater, rebuilding a fifty-foot sailboat, and spending over a dozen years as a computer nerd, he is now immersed in the joys and challenges of writing fiction. To this day he is amazed at what can be done with a degree in geophysics.Matthew lives and writes on an island in the Pacific Northwest with his wife and daughter.
