Born in Space: Unlocking Destiny by Jeremy Clift

Born in Space: Unlocking Destiny by Jeremy Clift

When Teagan Ward claims seven babies, conceived artificially after she donated her eggs to a medical experiment aboard a rotating space habitat, are her children, she triggers a fight that consumes her life in a race against time to free her from the clutches of an unscrupulous doctor and a power-mad general.
“Born in Space: Unlocking Destiny” chronicles a gripping tale of sacrifice and redemption in which desire and ambition collide. As a ruthless mining consortium tightens its grip on the lucrative interstellar asteroid mining business, Teagan finds herself at the epicenter of a battle for control that spans the planets. Her seven children, born in a lab as part of a daring experiment to populate future space colonies, become pawns in a larger game of power and ambition.
Only the fragment of a distant solar system discovered in a captured asteroid has the lure to win her freedom and unlock the children’s destiny. When a greedy businessman, an unethical scientist, and an unhinged general all covet its remarkable energy, one of the children spies an opportunity to orchestrate the reunion they’ve long desired.
“Born in Space” is the thought-provoking first book in the Sci-fi Galaxy series of speculative science fiction novels. If you like strong female characters, moral dilemmas, and stories of alien encounters, then you’ll love Jeremy Clift’s rocket-fueled tale of romance and resistance.
In the tradition of Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, and William Gibson, “Born in Space: Unlocking Destiny” is an enthralling journey into the depths of space and the human spirit. For fans of “Interstellar” and “2001: A Space Odyssey,” this sci-fi gem promises an unmatched immersive experience.

Author Bio:

Jeremy Clift is a science fiction author and former journalist. He is planning to publish the second book in his award-winning Sci-Fi Galaxy series this yesar. A fan of Adrian Tchaikovsky, Mary Robinette Kowal, Cixin Liu, and Andy Weir, he is keenly interested in how space exploration will change humanity over the next 200 years. His first work of fiction, “Born in Space” is built around the growth of orbiting space habitats and the exploitation of asteroids. “Born in Space” examines what life might be like for the first children born off Earth. “How would they feel? Would they have a terrible craving to return “home”? Or are they really an extraterrestrial, a space being? Still a humanoid but having none of the experiences of the Earth.”

Clift says that solving how babies get born in reduced or zero gravity is one of the key issues for humanity if we want to populate space habitats and other planets. Most people will not want to emigrate to Mars. But maybe robots will. And by then, they will probably be far more intelligent than humans. “Maybe what will be “born” is some sort of hybrid that mixes the emotions of humans with the resilience and sturdiness of artificial beings.”

A former non-fiction Publisher at an international organization, he is a communications consultant and writing coach who has also worked in magazines and as an international news correspondent for Reuters. A graduate of the London School of Economics and George Washington University, he has lived in a variety of capitals and cities around the world, including Beijing, Bombay, Cairo, New Delhi, Jakarta, London, Manila, Paris, and Washington DC.

He has published profiles and interviews with several leading economists, including Nobel Prize winners Vernon Smith and Daniel Kahneman, as well as Olivier Blanchard, Avinash Dixit, Allan Meltzer, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Mario Monti, Lucrezia Reichlin, and Hernando de Soto. He has also edited collections of work on Health and Development and Financial Globalization, as well as books on VAT, Big Government, Japan, Risk and Recessions.
