Then came the meteor strike on Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, followed by an alien infestation by a strange vegetative life-form known locally as the Chaga. For Gaby McAslan and her SkyNet news team, this is the story of a lifetime - and a golden chance at fame. As the Dark Continent becomes a frenzied backdrop of apocalyptic anticipation, Gaby fights to be the first to get to the truth behind the Chaga, only to come up against a wall of official secrecy. Suddenly rumors are spreading as fast as the Chaga: of people disappearing into the alien growth or being herded by U.N. troops into restricted "research" camps. Soon it becomes clear that the real story is bigger than Gaby could every imagine - a story that must be told even if it means betraying the man she loves. Is the Chaga an invasion or a gift? Does it mean destruction or evolution? Does it spell the final chapter for humanity ... or just the beginning of the most amazing story of all? 269905 1 11 1995 Evolution's Shore total:61|5:15|4:19|3:20|2:5|1:2| 61 223 94 3 5 0 false false Sun Nov 06 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Tue Jul 15 17:35:47 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 15 17:38:13 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Wed Oct 21 08:12:29 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 08:15:06 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Nov 19 09:09:31 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 19 09:10:15 -0800 2008
"Evolution's Shore is a fascinating novel, but for my money "Tendeléo's Story" tackles its themes with a little more focus. Both offer a fascinating gambit—if paradise were offered to us, would we take it?"
