Eden's Trial

"A science fiction thriller with terrific images and revelations" SF author Gary Gibson

 now available on Kindle (see review)

A murder... A new planet mankind desperately needs... A thousand year old conspiracy... What really awaits us on Eden?

Fifty years from now, a new planet is found which appears to be too good to be true, but two missions have failed to return. Blake and his crew lead the final attempt to bring back good news, but a hidden enemy aims first to prevent their arrival, and then to ensure they can never reveal what really lies in wait for us on Eden. Back on Earth, Eden mission analyst Micah Sanderson evades assassins and tries to work out who he can trust, in a race against time to unravel the Eden Paradox. 

"Characters whose inner lives inform their decisions...keeps it moving." SF author Gary Gibson.

"A good story, well told!" SF agent John Jarrold.

Barnes & Noble Review:

The setting, turmoil, politics, societal climate and universe the Kirwan creates are gripping from page one. Particularly capturing are the challenges and inner demons faced by the characters. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Examples From Amazon reviews: 

Reviewer #1: "Bought this for a cross-country plane trip. First of all, it lasted me about ten hours getting me there and most of the way back. I had no desire to read anything else in the midst of this dystopia/sci-fi novel, and even found myself thinking about the story while on vacation doing other things. This is Orson Scott Card quality material at half the price and with double the words. Hard to beat that." 

Reviewer #2: "I loved this book. I bought it, not entirely sure if it would be my cup of tea but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I couldn’t put it down. Its fast paced and keeps you on your toes. While I was reading it, I almost felt like I was watching a film as the characters and settings are so vivid."

Reviewer #3: "If you like Dr. [Michael] Crichton's books, technology and politics, you will like the Eden Paradox. Couldn't put it down. Science fiction or maybe not that far off in the future?"

Reviewer #4: "Eden Paradox" is a very well written science fiction thriller, with the plot grabbing the reader from page to page so fast that the Kindle has to work is catch up.

Reviewer #5: The characters and story line are elegantly penned, allowing you completely to immerse yourself and escape into the alternative world created. It also has the additional benefit of bite-sized chapters, making it perfect reading for a commute or interrupted holiday read. That said - once you start it, you'll struggle to put it down...

Reviewer #6: Although not a massive sci-fi fan, once I started this book I had to keep turning the page to find out what was going to happen. An excellent thriller where for a while you are not sure who the good and bad guys are. Its bigger than that and a group of characters in various spaces you want to keep up with. Can't wait for the second part.

Reviewer #7: The Eden Paradox deals with cosmic issues à la Solaris and 2001, without stinting on action and plot. The questions and ideas are embodied by fully-fleshed characters grappling with the cataclysmic destruction of one world, and the beginning of another. As I followed the characters in the near-future setting I wondered where our own universe ends and author Kirwan's begins.

Reviewer #8: I have to say I was surprised about myself when I read this book - I really liked it. Usually I try and stay away from science fiction as far as I can, but this one proved differently. The book is very well written, with interesting characters that you get to know, not just read about. The story is capturing, it describes a possible future of the earth, and made me reflect a lot about what is going on in the present. In any case: READ IT!

Reviewer #9: I started reading this on my computer - and it was only when I noticed that my bum had gone numb that I realized how long I had been sat still ! It is a page turner, I read a couple (OK three) Dan Brown books (I only needed to read one really), but in the same way that the DaVinci Code carries you on a page turning journey - so does this one... The difference I hope is that when the subsequent parts of the trilogy are released, there's going to be more than a different colored cover on the book.The characters have depth, a back story and life, carried along at a lively pace, and the changing perspective and parallel story lines keep the momentum up all the way through the story. The ending is closed enough for the story to work, and similarly open enough to lead us through the trilogy.Its not just worth a read, its good read, a good story, and i am looking forward to the next installment... (well two installments actually).

Aerique: After this post http://www.reddit.com/r/worldbuilding/comments/ng5px/what_makes_a_good_alien_character/c38u2jz I bought your first book (on Kindle) and finished it pretty quickly considering my little available free time. And a couple of days ago I finished the second Eden book. Now the question is: when's the third one available? Anyway, your certainly "up there" as far as SF writers go. Yours were some of the more enjoyable I've read. If I read some of your comments correctly you like Stephen Baxter but I didn't find his books as enjoyable as yours (although they did give me a lot to think about afterwards). In short: thanks!
