Amid a brutal interstellar war, Teagan Ward is thrust into a power struggle that spans galaxies. Her seven children, lab-created to populate future space colonies, become pawns in a ruthless game of control and greed. When an asteroid reveals a fragment from a distant solar system, it offers them a chance for escape\u2014and a shot at reuniting their fractured family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teagan is a fiercely protective mother, her love and desperation driving her every move. Noel and Hunter add depth to the family dynamic. Howie Rich is a complex, manipulative force, driven by motivations that make him both a compelling and ruthless antagonist. Clift skillfully navigates genre tropes, exploring artificial intelligence, corporate greed, and the ethical dilemmas of scientific experimentation with both familiarity and innovation. He subverts expectations, particularly in his portrayal of the personal costs of technological progress, where the consequences reach far beyond societal impact, striking at the heart of intimate relationships. Spanning decades, the narrative is taut and immersive, plunging readers into the characters\u2019 inner worlds. Clift controls the pacing with precision, balancing adrenaline-fueled action with introspective moments. Corporate exploitation looms large, and Clift\u2019s portrayal of a mining consortium highlights pressing issues of resource management and corporate ethics, adding contemporary relevance to the narrative. This is more than a sci-fi story; it\u2019s a profound, thrilling examination of motherhood, power, and the far-reaching consequences of ambition in an ever-expanding universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Born in Space: Unlocking Destiny <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>(Sci-Fi Galaxy series Book 1)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jeremy Clift<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Born-Space-Unlocking-Destiny-Sci-Fi-ebook\/dp\/B0D1PWPRBJ\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Born-Space-Unlocking-Destiny-Sci-Fi-ebook\/dp\/B0D1PWPRBJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ellewon Press<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pub date May 8, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ISBN 979-8990010727<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price $26.22 9USD) Hardcover, $12.65 Paperback, $3.35 Kindle edition<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intricate, absorbing, and profoundly touching\u2026 Clift merges the vastness of space with the intimate, harrowing struggles of motherhood, probing the ethical limits of science and the steep cost of survival in his gripping sci-fi tale.
