Earth wanted humanity to reach the stars. Instead, humanity left its home world to die.
The surface of Earth has been devastated, and the remnants of human civilization survive within isolated undersea domes. Cut off from the colonies of Nova Sol, their resources are disappearing, their population is declining, and their only hope lies in recreating the mysterious gateway that once carried humanity to another solar system.
But Earth is not dead.
The planet is a conscious force with an evolutionary plan of its own. Long before humanity arose, Earth created other intelligent species-dragons, thunderbirds, sasquatch-like guardians, and beings remembered only through myth. Now those species are being called upon to fulfill their final purpose: prepare the planet for a confrontation with the ancient Giants.
In the Nova Sol system, colonists struggle to understand the return of the Giants and the hidden powers awakening around them. On Earth, the guardians begin to question the brutal sacrifices demanded by their creator. Some remain loyal to the planet's design. Others believe that life, once created, belongs to itself.
As gateways reopen and long-separated worlds move toward collision, humans and nonhumans alike must decide whether obedience is the price of survival-or whether freedom is worth defying the world that gave them life.
Remnant Species, the second volume of the Nova Sol Trilogy, is an ambitious tale of planetary consciousness, forgotten civilizations, genetic transformation, and rebellion against destiny.
