Telomeric: The Industrial Age, Volume Two

EARTH 2.0 IN PERIL

A decade has passed since Odile infiltrated planet Turaset's combustion industry to bring its covert killers to justice. That act nearly broke her. Now, she wants only to raise her son, Paolo, in peace.

When Paolo's environmentalist father arrives to take him camping deep in the wilderness, an accident triggers a devastating and strangely curious fugue in the boy. Unconscious, Paolo mumbles fragments of alien technology that could bring an end to coal and oil combustion forever.

Paolo's father wants to record Paolo's ongoing trickle of information. He wants to use it against the ancient 'telomeric' man who heads the combustion industry. But Odile, her peace now shattered, simply wants Paolo healthy again. She flees with him in search of a cure as the clock ticks down for humankind's survival.

Telomeric is stand-alone fiction from the world of Turaset.
