There was only one rule: NEVER LEAVE THE DOME.Inside the dome, 117 tube-born kids lived free of contamination. Trained since birth, they were almost ready to launch their ships and leave the dying planet behind. They were humanity's final hope to avoid extinction. Their mission would be to explore the farthest reaches of the galaxy seeking out a habitable world free of the C-1 virus. They tried not to think of conditions outside the dome where the virus had driven the last of the uninfected into the ground, into dark bunkers where they waited to be rooted out by cannibalistic hordes. Streets had become boneyards. Weeds grew inside long-forgotten government buildings.Fifteen-year-old Genevieve Fifthborn knew all this, she was fully aware that the world was coming to an end, but on the island of The Eden Project she had much bigger problems, boy problems. Only her first love might risk far more than a broken heart, it just might bring about the end of our species.NIGHT WITHOUT END (Book Two of The Eden Project) now available

Excerpt from The Monkeyfolk of South AfricaThis books is the first of a series which I hope in due time to have published.The monkeys are at the head of the sub-human animal kingdom, so I have taken them first.Each group of animals will be dealt with in turn, until a complete history of the animals of South Africa has been produced.This volume is written mostly in the form of anecdotes. The animals are made to tell their own stories.By adopting this style I hope to interest the minds of our boys and girls, and at the same time to present all that is known to science about the ways and habits of the animals of South Africa.I have been encouraged to do this by the large measure of success which attended such efforts in the past, in connection with the literary and lecturing departments of my work as a museum director. In the degree that a writer is able to interest the mind of the reader, so just in that degree will he succeed in impressing the cells of the grey matter of the brain. Unless the teacher succeed in arousing the intelligent interest of his pupil, he can make but little headway.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
