Summary: "Born in Space," from ElleWon Press, chronicles a gripping tale of sacrifice, romance, and revenge. As life on Earth crumbles and the rich seek sanctuary in rotating space habitats, desire and ambition collide as a greedy billionaire mining boss and his scheming doctor seek to exploit the mineral-rich asteroids. When Teagan Ward claims seven test-tube babies, conceived aboard a space habitat as an experiment to populate the stars, are her children, she triggers a fight that consumes all those she loves. Clift paints a vivid picture of a world in turmoil, where desire and ambition clash against a backdrop of interstellar intrigue and technological advancement, and the rich are leaving Earth for the more secure orbiting habitats that provide comfort and safety beyond the Earth’s conflicts. The scheduled return of astronauts to the Moon in 2026 could trigger a new phase of colonization of the lunar surface, probably mostly by robots, with some human intervention. Readers will be enthralled by the intricate plot that weaves together themes of family, betrayal, and the quest for truth amidst a backdrop of global uncertainty and the rise of AI-driven societies.
