Dan McKelvey is a simple indie-hauler turned tech-mech, until a delivery leads him to a strange new planet, where his life will change forever.
His whole life he has had to live up to the legacy of his Saunder-McKelvey ancestors, but now, on this strange world, he has the chance to uncover the tragic past of a near-extinct race.
Joining Dr Juxury’s multi-racial xenoarchaeology team, Dan becomes their resident xenomechanician, helping them to restore the technologies of the native race of old and uncover the truth about this kind people’s demise.
But when Dan learns that he must travel to present the team’s scientific findings at the Twelfth Xenoarchaeological Assembly, held at none other than the resident planet of Feo and Hope Saunder-Nicholaiev – Dan’s affluent, obnoxious cousins, he realises that his journey could never have been that simple.
Conflict will surely arise…
Will Dan and his friends discover the sordid truth behind the downfall of an entire race?
And in doing so, will they unlock the Past of Forever?
Find out in Juanita Coulson’s gripping sci fi novel The Past of Forever, the fourth and final instalment of her famed science fiction saga featuring the Children of the Stars, the Saunders family.
