As a result of incest, several members of Family have birth defects such as a cleft palate (called “Batface”) or clubbed feet. Nearly two centuries later, the “Family” consists of 532 people all descended from Tommy and Angela. While the remainder of their team journeyed back to Earth in order to bring back a rescue team, the two castaways began having children. One hundred and sixty-three years ago, two astronauts named Tommy and Angela were stranded on a planet they named Eden.

I am pleased to say that there is definitely substance beneath the gorgeous cover. ![]() They say you should never judge a book by its cover, but honestly do you blame me? It was a must have. I had never heard of Dark Eden or its author Chris Beckett prior to picking up this book. ![]()
