Home and Sol
by Jeff Cosens


Home Star is dying, and dying fast. Its inhabitants must flee – but where? After 600 millennia of mostly peaceful existence, the citizens and their symbiotic relations of Home are doomed. Purely by happenstance, the astrophysicists under the supervision of Pram, Minister of Science, have also detected an alien signal from a star 55 years distant. A planet is found that orbits the star inside its habitable zone. They decide to migrate. The journey will be full of risk, but to stay is certain extinction. This is story of that epic migration – the costs and sacrifices, the planning, the light years long journey and its unexpected conclusion. It is also a story of immigration and cooperation, of hope and co-existence. Set in the near future, this is a story that will appeal to all ages of science fiction readers.


"The population of an endangered world journeys across the universe in search of a new home...An SF adventure that capably combines the alien and familiar." —Kirkus Reviews


“Home and Sol” is author Jeff Cosens’ first published novel. He is now retired, after a thirty-four year career at Canada’s largest telecommunications company, Bell Canada. During his working life, he was responsible for writing technical documentation. This influence has led to his terse, exacting writing style. He was born and raised in London, Ontario, Canada as the oldest of a five boy family. He now resides with his wife of forty-five years Sally, in the lovely hamlet of Whalen Corners, Ontario. They have one son. He is an avid gardener and a life long Chicago Blackhawks fan. He currently has two more novels in development.
