Produktbeschreibung
The Chosen of Aquian is the fourth book of The First people saga. It is now twenty-five years after the Earth is destroyed by three alien beings who had been worshiped as gods. The survivors awake from stasis to find themselves on the continent of Africa but contained within a protoplasmic bubble that is hurtling through space at close to the speed of light. Awakened, the old antagonisms reassert themselves and conflict threatens. They are then informed that the planet to which they are headed is occupied, and they prepare for war. The inhabitants of the planet are very different from what they expected, and a serious threat emerges, one which they are ill-prepared to handle. Two humans whose DNA has been modified by some unknown entity become themselves god-like, but they have very divergent views about what the humans' response should be. One fears the outcome; the other ignores it. What is clear is that the continuation of humanity is very much in doubt.
Autorenporträt
Ronald A. Williams was born in Barbados and educated in the United States. As a result, his work engages both societies and the connections between them. His stories move seamlessly from sandy Caribbean beaches to corporate boardrooms, and they always involve intrigue, adventure and romance.

This is Ronald A. Williams' tenth novel. One of the prior novels, The Dark Land, won the Prime Minister's Prize and finished second in the Frank Collymore Literary Prize competition. A second novel, The Fall of Autumn Leaves, finished first in the Frank Collymore prize competition. Williams' novels are frequently set in the Caribbean, and he engages the social issues that people of that region confront. He has also written a series of science fiction novels that engage issues of humanity's evolution from planet Earth into the stars.
