In 2003, Nick Sagan exploded onto the scene with
Idlewild, a highly original debut that inspired
Stephen Baxter to say, "Sagan has a ferocious imagination."
Edenborn returned to Sagan's hyperimaginative world
in a stylish, thrilling work hailed by critics and embraced
by readers. With Everfree, Sagan concludes the
trilogy that is destined to become a classic.
As
Everfree
opens, a small group of humans have survived the
apocalyptic epidemic
called Black Ep, a disease that ravaged the world and left
them alone
on Earth. Their conflicting ideas about how to propagate
the species,
however, are a source of terrible strife. Worst of all,
they have
barely fended off a new strain of the illness that has made
a deadly
return.
Now, they have bioengineered a new
synthetic organ
that strengthens the human immune system exponentially.
Finally, they
have devised the key to their survival. And yet, the organ
serves a
purpose no human could possibly have imagined, for it will
also enable
them to communicate with an extraterrestrial species that
has appeared
on Earth. The disease was a riddle sent by the aliens, and
by creating
the organ needed to survive it, humanity has answered their
call.
