Publisher's summary

Synopsis:
In the infinite voids of space, time had no meaning. No today. No yesterday. Suddenly, a gargantuan explosion tore through this nothingness. This caused the universe to be conceived and it spawned Leaffe, a supernatural being. She oversaw the creation of the universe and the creation of planets. On one planet, Zula, the people had advanced to such an extent that they overpopulated the planet by banning religions and the concomitant wars. This increased greenhouse gasses through the overuse of industry and the planet was heading for self-destruction. A space station, Haven, was built to house a select group, so their race would survive.

When aliens, led by Shaitan, attacked the space station, Leaffe intervened. She helped a group of children to escape in the newly built spaceship Ark, which had been built on Haven using green technology. The crew on Ark travelled in D-stasis cocoons and did not age. This allowed Leaffe to take the Ark to a solar system many light-years away. Using the Ark’s advanced technology, Leaffe subtly persuaded them to change the orbit of a planet closer to the sun, creating planet Earth. By leaving their cocoons only for short periods, they were able to observe and take part in the evolution of Earth from the dawn of the dinosaurs to Homo sapiens. Three of them stayed with the sapiens, but Shaitan arrived, with devastating consequences. The Ark returned thousands of years later, finding some frightening facts about Shaitan and that there was more than one Mitochondrial Eve.

About the Author: Tony was born in the West Midlands in the UK and migrated to Australia in 1965 with his wife Anne and three children. They now have six, one boy (the eldest) and five daughters. Tony has had a wide variety of jobs in the UK; his trades included iron moulder, steel worker, furnace man, and forger. In Australia, he worked in construction as a licensed scaffolder, rigger, dogman and timber man in the mines. A major accident when he was 38years old finished that sort of work. Incidentally, that was the first time he ever owned any type of phone. In fact, it was the first time he had made a phone call. Since then, he has had a variety of jobs, including salesman, taxi driver and then went onto form his own fire extinguisher business. It was while operating this business, driving on a dirt road in the bush for four hours that the idea for a book came into his head. Although he still can’t spell and at that time was computer illiterate, he wrote his first book, Defender of Genes. Now he is in his eighties. This book, Mitochondrial Eves, is to form part of a trilogy. The way it’s written, it could well be a never-ending story.
