Moses Merriweather and his clever people had solved the climate crisis a century before, conquered viruses and lived longer than Methuselah, answered hunger and want. Now, space-time opens to them, a maiden to their wooing.
Until ...
... one man seizes eternity for his own ends.
Moses Merriweather is the Prospero of Island Earth facing the problem of paradise-but for whom? One man has enslaved a child-like remnant of humanity, the planet reverting to its primitive innocence before homo sapiens. Yet, Moses is anything but innocent in crafting dystopia. His attempt to bend time to right his wrongs hinges on the messiah he steals from the past-a teenager he plunges into his brave new world to defeat its usurping tyrant. But will her innocent first steps into a people-less world destroy what's left of humankind?
In the tradition of Wells and Heinlein, Above the Stars is an epic novel of time-travel and the frontiers of intellect, heart, and grit, plotting humanity's next steps even while it grapples with the here-and-now, to offer a better world for us all.
What readers say of Bethany Beeler's work:
It is rare to experience an artist who is so authentic that I am inspired to be more of myself simply by being exposed to their work.
It's what I want from a novel-a story I'm compelled to keep reading and not put down, even though I should be going to sleep!
