I have begun a "sequel" to my novel SEEDS OF MEMORY.  The reason for the quotes is to indicate that, although it takes place in the same time frame as the ending of the first book, it is from an entirely different perspective and deals with true alien contact.  Our intrepid explorers from the planet of Paz have arrived at a new world.  They have no choice but to land.  If they do not, they will surely die and the work of the Fathers will not be completed.

They know in advance from probes that there is a sentient, intelligent life form occupying the planet and that they are going to have to make contact.  This will be a story of all the issues arising from such a scenario.  At this point it appears this will become another major project.  Stay tuned.
