Adam and Eve Smith are in despair after the death of their beloved daughter. Struggling to come to terms with their loss, the couple are challenged by the Storyteller to embark on the journey of a lifetime. In trying to piece their lives back together they are thrown headlong into yet more chaos in a quest which, if successful, will bring about a new era in human history - The Fourth Beginning. They will not be alone on their adventure, making new friends and facing fearful opposition along the way... In this genre-busting debut, author Paul Gee addresses some of humanity's most profound philosophical questions: Why are we here? How are we here? What's the point? The only way to find the meaning of, and answers to, these questions is through the making of stories. Gee does just that, weaving a witty and entertaining tale which is both fantastical and illuminating.
