Time Enough

Recently widowed Larkin Howpal, the former-leader of an alien Dyson sphere built to study its star, returns from retirement to investigate the first serious crime in millennia. Assisted by a female farmer, Sola, Larkin discovers their star is dying, and the Ancient's plan, assimilation of the eight billion seasoncycles of data they built their world to gather, is at risk.

They overcome rogue AIs vying for world control, abduction by farmers, and attacks by scientists. During their struggle to salvage the Ancients' plan, they fulfill each other's need for companionship and purpose. However, their efforts might be too late.

Time Enough, my completed 86,000-word science fiction novel, is a fresh story arc that should appeal to the same readers that appreciated the uniqueness of the novel Eon.
