BOOK OF THE YEAR WINNER at I♥SCI-FI PODCAST
"Mind-blowing is an understatement! Feels like reading movie."—SETH COMIRE, I♥SCI-FI REVIEW
Civilization is doomed, but the Climate Council has an audacious plan... and an ancient secret. Could it rewrite the past in time to save their future?
In 2296, an unstoppable mass extinction is underway, and history proves society will collapse before it can change. Climate Council scientists have no choice but to unveil the Dawn Project. Their audacious plan will terraform the planet back to life… by erasing its civilization.
Biologist Kaia Badra commits her life to the project’s success at all costs after a storm surge takes her parents. Amidst the project’s controlled volcanic eruption and asteroid impacts, she soon uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to tip the Council’s audacious act of creation toward apocalyptic destruction. Her race to find the truth leads to a mystery from 2034. A disgraced geologist digging near ancient ruins claimed to discover a secret about the origin of life, and how far she may need to go to save it. As superstorms rage and cities crumble to dust, Kaia begins to wonder... who can she trust?
"Fans of Interstellar, Stargate, and Arthur C. Clarke will love this thought-provoking science fiction saga written for our changing world."—NJ BOOK REVIEW

But I’m alive. The more of the station I explore, the surer I get that this was no accident. Someone did this, and I don't think they're finished yet.

The wall just didn’t look right. Alex has been trying to cope. Life after his deployment had been rough. His ex-wife thought he needed to stop disappointing their daughter. She was right. He would try harder. With six hours before his little girl’s fourth birthday party, he saw the anomaly. One wall was too short. Plenty of time to tear out a panel and look behind it. He found a brick wall. His house wasn’t made of brick. Behind that was another just like the first. He still had time. When the second wall came down, Alex stood and stared at the shining doorway.

Good story, narration needs help
I don’t understand why they have a female narrator trying to mimic male voices. Or the other way around on many other audio books. Hire more than one narrator! It will add believability.

struggled to finish this. Basic scientific facts were so wrong that I couldn't help groaning. Dialog was awkward and made it difficult to get into the characters.
