A science-fiction revision of the Adam-Eve theme and its consequences, in the field of space exploration and encounters with extraterrestrial intelligences.

I wrote this book in two and a half months during the year 2001. I offered it to several publishers, who rejected it. In one case I was told that the book is "sexist," because in the first two chapters the woman (Eve) is more wicked than the man (Adam). This was a Catholic publisher :-(

Finally, in 2013, I decided to self-publish it on Amazon, where I have also published all my books out of print, published originally by traditional publishers.

In these posts in my blog I spoke about this book and told its history: https://populscience.blogspot.com/201..., https://populscience.blogspot.com/202...


Fonch | 2419 comments I cheer up that the one of the Best reviewers of Goodreads Steven is commenting this group with us. I Will start the reading the 12th of september.


Fonch | 2419 comments About this comment. It is sad that the piblishings are with this King of ideology. If this Eve did not like. I do not want to imagine that they would say of the Milton's Eve in The lost Paaradise part of the low quality of the books nowadays is because the publishings do not publish books. They publish polítical lenflets 😡 and the worst is that the catholic publishings follow this tide and they do not treat that the Church moves the world currently it is the opposite.

The press of work and family matters has kept me from commenting here, but I also found the book impossible to put down and finished in a couple days.
