Face of the Earth^

In the profound (if not prophetic) words of Globe Gale & Inferno "'Tis a sobering retrospective, on the Earth's^ Last Days and Times, though it be filtered through the prism, of distinctly alien eyes." "A Love Story, a Sci-Fi space odyssey, and an epic poem re-imagining an astral 'Pre'-evolution of Black (African) Culture, The Face of The Earth^ is a larger-than-life modern-day classic." wrote black Aerospace Communications Engineer, E. M. Lee, Sr. He adds that "Along with its cutting-edge science fiction and its insightful socioeconomic critiques, this bawdy space odyssey entices the reader ever deeper, with its scintillating and seductive blend of truth, and half-truths, and poetry and hyperbole, and sociology and yes... even a smattering of philosophy." Set against a sprawling cosmic backdrop, evolving from 'way black-then' to 'God knows when', two seemingly star crossed - lovers, afflicted with blazing 'hearts afire', simmer in a tumultuous, seething-cauldron bubbling-over, with scandalous 'love and desire'. An heroic beauty, "Etherea" is his North Star, his Guiding Light, and his Constant, in The Storm. And though his earthy passions be hurled against ill-winds of destiny, arrayed against him like pillars of fire, our "bipenal" anti-hero "BiJohnne" emerges from the whirlwind... transformed into someone that we can all can admire. *Please Note: With its occasional imaginative, but tasteful, yet intimate treatments of 'adult' subject matter, this story is best reserved for mature audiences.
