Skye
In our galaxy, there are at least twenty billion Earth-like planets able to sustain life.
My name is Skye.
I am eighteen years old.
Our astronautic scientists discovered a planet within our galaxy with human life similar to ours. By probing this planetās satellite systems, they have learnt that wars have wracked this world over many millennia, where various zealots strive for dominance.
Before setting out on a twenty-year expedition to visit this planet, our group has spent a year being educated in the various languages of this alien world and acquiring the skills to survive in any hostile environment we may find ourselves in.
OUR DESTINATION IS EARTH.
SKYE is the first book in a trilogy. It is a coming-of-age adventure of Skye, a young alien girl, and her fight to survive in a post-apocalyptic world governed by fundamentalists.
After surviving a meteoroid tsunami, her spaceship crash lands in the Mexican wilderness. One of the survivors, Judah, a gifted physician from a superior technological civilization, is discovered in the desert and taken to Texas. Judah is promoted as the new Messiah by a right-wing extremist known as āThe Preacherā.
The Preacherās propaganda machine convinces Americaās devastated survivors that it was the sins of the worldās population that, as prophesized in the Bible, brought down the wrath of God. Judah is exploited to restore the peopleās faith in the divinity of God as decreed by the Preacherās tyrannical interpretation.
The Preacher aims to reverse the emancipation achieved by Abraham Lincoln in 1863 and bring about a dictatorship through the reunification of America. Skye must put her trust in a member of the Preacherās security team to rescue Judah from this new confederacy.
