2287 A.D. - After Destruction
*PLEASE NOTE: All books in the series contain sensual content and playful sexual banter ... featuring an 'ancient aliens' version of creation.
2287 A.D. follows the lives of Ashlyn Parker and Steven Sherrah, the man who is in command of Earth's last surviving starship. He has been struggling to keep the handful of Earth's survivors alive, hiding from the most vicious and powerful enemy humanity has ever known, an enemy that is relentless in his determination to see that every last human is killed.
His life is turned upside down as Ashlyn, a woman genetically engineered to be mentally and physically perfect - the next step in humanity's evolution, awakens from stasis. For her protection, she had been cryogenically frozen when Earth was attacked. Her return is brutal, for she awakens fifteen years later into a post-apocalyptic Earth to find that everyone she had known before is gone, the world destroyed.
From the first moment that her distress signal is received and Steven rescues Ashlyn, his heart is inexplicably drawn to her, as she is to him. Her presence challenges his loyalty to those whom he loves and all that he has ever known. For within Ashlyn, she holds the secret to a shared past that he had never known existed. A past which will take them back in time almost 7,000 years, where they will journey through strange new worlds, changing the history of the universe for all time, and our understanding of everything as we know it.

-- Slight spoilers from the beginning of the book below! --
So, aliens attack Earth, wipe out 9 billion people, all that's left are few thousand in a sub-ocean base.
So far so good, book.
For 15 years our guys are chilling there, surviving.
So far so good, book.
The hero is some kind of military admiral, in charge of the base. One day there is a distress signal and our guys are sending a rescue team. Our hero is leading the operation, because that's what an admiral does - spec-ops. That's how you become admiral in the military, by leading the charge.
So far so...
Here comes the twist - the hero is genetically engineered super human. How could he not know that by now, you'd ask. See, the good doctors designed for him a super (hot) girl, a goddess. And his goddess is what the distress signal is for. He has to wake the sleeping beauty and that will unlock his powers.
Really, book, that easy?
Won't be that easy tho' - our poor hero and the goddess will be super humanly attracted to each other and they'll have to have sex... to unlock the powers, you see.
You're loosing me, book, you're loosing me...
But then during the rescue the hero dies.
OK, OK, now we have something, go on.
We switch to the goddess. She wakes up in the research station and... has some kind of telepathic sex with the hero, who's apparently not dead. So now our goddess has to find her genetically programed soul-mate.
Oh, for fuck's sake, book...
EDIT: Boy, oh boy, this book just keeps on giving. And here I thought that beginning was absurd, apparently that was just a small appetizer. I'll keep the following in spoiler tags, just in case some of you care.
At this point I'm determined to finish the book, just to see how bad it can get.

Great fantasy novel
A classical good versus evil story with very high stakes - the survival of the human race. High action and intense romances, with difficult choices. Who wins depends what you chose to read at the end. Although, I have some difficulties with the alternate ending.

Not a great read. Wasn't really science fiction so much as erotic fantasy in a dystopian setting.

1 star. Awful. DNF. Nothing remotely believable about this story

I listened to audiobook. Story is entertaining but ruined by the sound effects.
