The MetSche Meridian

The MetSche saga concludes….

Young Dawn, a descendant of the MetSche rogues who fled to the planet Luggahro 50,000 years before the story opens, soon learns of her role in the time travel that this book features. But all too soon, her initial excitement and feelings of pride will turn to very different emotions.

One by one, most of the characters from the previous two novels are introduced: the evil Padma, the attractive alien Jared, various human doctors, and visually impaired Andre, the central human character. He is deeply affected by the aliens’ actions, both helpful and harmful. A cruel alien ironically named Glee brings him quite the opposite of that emotion.

The story tosses us into a maelstrom of planetary history, time travel, mind games, instances of kindness, and looking back at the past, sometimes with alien assistance. Only the section concerning Andre’s 12–week stay at the vision rehabilitation center roots us firmly in our earthly here and now. That sojourn brings Andre needed grounding and emotional growth.

The story ends, much as it began, with hope and determination to take on whatever the future may bring.
