Synopsis

The fight for the future of the whales has just begun. As Seiiki, now escorted by a military contingent from Earth United, draws ever closer to New Eden, Kim Teng must learn to split her role of Caretaker with another, navigate a new relationship with Wren, and deal with the suffocating guilt of having been part of the Crusaders, all while maintaining her cover as social media star Hannah Monksman. What could possibly go wrong?With tensions rising back on Earth between the Adherants, a sect devoted to keeping humanity from colonizing space, and Earth United, it is even more important for Seiiki and the whales to reach New Eden quickly and safely. But as the contingent comes out of hyperspace, an unknown computer error sends them off-course into an asteroid belt. The military escort ships land badly damaged on New Eden, and the whales are trapped inside a crippled Seiiki, several kilometers from the planned landing site. And it seems their new home planet is not the peaceful paradise they expected.Strange creatures howl in the night, probes that were sent to populate the oceans with fish are found disabled, and ancient ruins in the jungle nearby suggest the Ark Project wasn’t the first landing party on New Eden. When people begin disappearing from their basecamp, Kim and her friends soon realize that while someone didn’t want them to ever arrive at New Eden, someone—or something—else wanted to make sure they did.

Goodreads review by Cary on July 19, 2023

If you're thinking about picking up this book and haven't read the previous book in the series… stop. Go back and read it. This book does not do well at standing alone, which I, unfortunately, found out the hard way - and even if you do go back and read the first book, there will be times when you f......more

Goodreads review by Shannon on May 28, 2023

It was nice to read a sci-fi book again, and New Eden was easy to get into. I’m impressed that, even though I didn’t read the first book in the trilogy (I won this arc in a giveaway), I wasn’t drowning in confusion. There are a few things that didn’t quite line up that I’m assuming were explained in......more

Continuing where we left off the first book where a social media star posed as a whale caretaker accompanying them to their new home, book two delved more on the MCs connection to the whales. This has to be one of those books where, as a human, I am questioning the morès of humanity. Like what gave u......more

Goodreads review by Nancy on September 04, 2023

I enjoyed this sequel to Under the Heavens and returning to Kim, Adonai, Wren, and the world that Ruth Fox creates. I love her unique premise that engages environmental and philosophical issues (reminding me of the work of Mary Doria Russell), and I found this book even more suspenseful than the fir......more
