Before Eden

By Ian O'Dowd

Before humanity remembered Eden as a garden, it may have been a mission.

Adam and Eve are not the first people on Earth. They are the last hope of a dying world.

As their planet burns beneath an expanding sun, evacuation ships scatter towards distant worlds. Adam and Eve are sent to prehistoric Earth carrying seeds, medicine, knowledge-and one impossible command: build a new Eden and ensure humanity survives.

But Earth is not the paradise they expected.

Its air is slowly shortening their lives. Its wilderness is filled with dangers they cannot control. Their technology is failing, and the world they hoped to guide already belongs to people who have lived there for generations.

Then their children are born.

Cain and Abel inherit the gifts of two worlds-and the fears, ambitions and wounds of their parents. As brotherly love turns towards rivalry, the future of Eden hangs in the balance, and humanity's oldest story begins to be written in blood.

Before Eden is a science-rooted speculative novel about survival, family, forbidden knowledge and the fragile boundary between love and possession.

What if Genesis was not the beginning of humanity, but the last surviving memory of what came before?
