Solaris Spring 2020 Lead Title from critically acclaimed author, Adrian J. - The Times. - SciFiNow 4 Star Review A prevailing mood of ironic charm. -- Publishers Weekly, starred review Adrian Walker breaks your heart in unexpected ways -- Anne Corlett, author of The Space Between the Stars The Human Son delivers a story that fosters a curious mind and an open heart, questioning and inspiring both without judgement.
This impressive, surprisingly hopeful take is as rigorous as a thought experiment as it is delightful as pure entertainment.
But the quiet and clinical Ima finds that there is more to raising a Human than she had expected; and there is more to humanity\'s history than she has been told.
They decide to raise one child: a sole Human to decide if we should again inherit the Earth.
Now the Erta are faced with a dilemma--if they reintroduce the rebellious and violent Homo sapiens, all of their work could be undone.
Created to be genetically superior, hyper-intelligent and unburdened by the full range of Human emotions, they succeeded by removing the cause: humans.
The Earth was dying, and only the Erta could save it.
WITHOUT US. 500 YEARS IN THE FUTURE, EARTH IS A PARADISE...
Walker A startling, emotional, beautiful (and at times funny) book - one that feels like the best sort of science fiction, a book that should be enjoyed widely, a book that speaks of what it is to be human, a parent, and a child.
