Palm Reader Version - This is earth-bound science fiction. - The novel begins an epic story that spans eight books. Its series, The Lodging for the Rose, presents a science fantasy where universal love slowly blossoms into a force for universal good in the shadow of a nuclear armed world. This opening novel unfolds a fantasy that appears as bright and as distant from our present world as the Morning Star. The fantasy is a science romance with dreams about freedom powered by universal love, the largely 'unexplored country.' Few people have dared to crossed its borders and traverse its landscapes. - In the novel, we are touched by challenges of universal love in the form of a love story with a romance that offers more than just an escape from tragedy, but cuts deep into marriage, sex and the erotic, and lays bare their paradoxes in a kaleidoscope of bewildering experiences. Underneath unfolds a layer of science that is still totally new. In the process, romance becomes uplifted with a brighter joy, and the erotic becomes enriched as well, even as we enrich the world and one another to avoid the ever-present danger of a nuclear war.
