In this adult science fiction novel, Life in the Universe: The Beginning, business, politics, romance, humour, and action intertwine in a dynamic, fast-paced narrative that explores current social issues and personal development. Relate to the unique perspectives of the main characters as they manage nuanced personal interactions, their ambition (or confusion), personal histories, and self-contradiction as Earth joins the Universal Council. At its heart the story positions humanity’s desire to be protected against personal freedom. Along the way personal and business relationships, assault, and the tension between loyalty to friends rather than family are explored. Join us, as we get lost together in the epic adventure that is life in the universe!
