Hailed by Neil Gaiman as a “ roller-coaster ride of fusion fiction,” Nick Sagan's highly original Idlewild made a brilliant debut in 2003. Now Edenborn Brings us back into Sagan's hyperimaginative world, staged in a very real and possible tomorrow.

Edenborn begins with a stark vision-a microbial apocalypse called Black Ep has Wiped humanity from the globe. Yet not all is lost. A few individuals have survived the epi-demic and are committed to the task of rebuilding a peaceful civilization. But not everyone shares the same vision, and soon two very different societies begin to form.

As we follow the children from each “family” someone-or some- thing-begins to jeopardize their innocence. And as the mystery mounts, a new biological threat moves against them. Now the archi-tects who gave breath to this new world must scramble to protect their children from a two-front assault. It's a race against extinction, and Nick sagan keeps riveted to the page.

 

Nick Sagan has been a screen-writer for ten years. The son of the late astronomer and novelist Carl Sagan, he lives in Ithaca , New York , and is at work on his third novel, Dverfree.
