Children of Copernicus: Part 1/Bridges, Episodes 1-13

by Elisabeth Busch

PLEASE NOTE: CHILDREN OF COPERNICUS IS A CONTINUOUS SERIAL, NOT A SERIES OF TRADITIONAL NOVELS. SEE BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS.

A sinister, universe-altering secret connects three strangers scattered across the galaxy.

After his family is killed in an aircar accident, Alex Sharma moves from Earth to Mars to start a new life at Kepler University, his father's alma mater. He soon discovers that his father was far more than who he seemed, and before long the strands of Ben Sharma's secret second life ensnare Alex in a web of interplanetary intrigue and personal alliances he didn't even know existed.

When Alex begins dating the niece of high society attorney Gwen Mendez, it sets in motion a chain of events that forces Gwen to confront her past indiscretions, misdeeds that are inextricably linked to the mystery left behind by Ben. She must scramble to contain the fallout before it endangers her burgeoning political career--not to mention her life.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Settled Space, young woman Tessa Corcoran's simple village life on Copernicus gets a whole lot more interesting when she learns her father shares a hidden history with Ben Sharma--a history that has already affected her and her ailing father in ways neither of them could guess at.

Will Alex, Tessa, and Gwen be able to successfully navigate the fates thrust upon them by Ben Sharma's untimely death? The future of Settled Space hangs in the balance in this scifi serial drama that readers call "fantastic," "fascinating," and "f-cking addicting."

READERS PLEASE NOTE: Children of Copernicus: Part 1/Bridges is the first installment in a continuing saga and ends on a cliffhanger that leads directly into Part 2/Starburst (coming August 2023). The Amazon edition also contains a bonus short story previously only available to Patreon readers.
