Richard McLawhorn Norfolk's Granddaughter Paperback Book

What is the future of the human race? Where will our descendants be in two thousand years? Will they live in moon colonies, on Mars, or on a new home outside our solar system? What would life be like on a new planet? If our descendants migrate to a new home among the stars, will they leave behind starvation, greed, racial and religious strife, warfare, fear, and despair that have lingered throughout Earth's history? If they make a fresh start, what new economic and political models will be developed by this small, elite population on a planet larger than Earth? Will animal and plant life transported from Earth thrive alongside the new planet's indigenous species? These are among the questions explored in this novel. In Norfolk's Birthday, more than eight thousand pioneers arrived on their new home and began to build a new life. Now, five centuries (750 Earth years) later, Norfolk's Granddaughter focuses on the fates of two families. While the family of Norfolk Shakespeare enjoys the bounty of the Atlantic Confederation in the south, Leif Campbell and his wife and son, on the run from a murderous dictator in the north, settle in a refugee camp near the Shakespeare farm. When tragedy strikes each family, the members unite in a life-and-death struggle, and assistance comes from an unexpected source: from native beings, once extinct, recently resurrected by scientists, and now living quietly in various wilderness locations.
