Seedlings of Earth
After climate change became climate crisis and forced the abandonment of Earth, humans have been living in the wider Solar System for over 8000 years, interraforming asteroids and establishing bases on planets and larger moons. Kye Sheb is a LifeScaper. She designs the interior spaces of asteroids and craters, adding the limited life that escaped on the Arks in self-sustaining combinations. Kye's parents, Monik and Dantam, fly the Ore-miner Marentin, searching out asteroids for precious metals and looking for large enough rocks that can be hollowed like an egg for interraforming. Sten works for Meltoric Comz, one of the wealthiest Politics in the System. Both are looking for Probe 19, a craft that has passed into myth. Probe 19 - so the story goes - contains the Svalbard Seed and Animal Bank and during the last days of the evacuation of Earth, a group of scientists blasted it into the furthest reaches of the System, hoping the cold and dark would keep it safe for future generations to find, eventually using it to return to mankind's home planet. Meltoric needs a young Lifescaper with a unique vision for LifeSpace design that doesn't exist in the currently rigid discipline. Even better should that LifeScaper have parents with a ship large enough to hold ore, one large enough perhaps to carry a different cargo. Alnan Comz blames his father for his mother's death and wants to see him humiliated, thwart his every move, take his seat as a powerful Politic, and Mykar, his tame psychopath, is only too happy to help. Killing for fun is what he does and a whole family is too good an opportunity to miss.

Seedlings of Earth by Nigel Stubley is a big book and, by big, I don't mean the page count. It is epic.
It takes you on a journey from a few hundred years beyond the here and now on earth where we are living through a pandemic, facing the possibility of a third world war and beginning to see the effects of climate change to around 8,000 years into the future. A future where mankind left a dead world and sought refuge in the solar system.
And thrived.
And evolved.
And became citizens of the new worlds they settled on.
And somewhere out there is Probe 19 which is believed to hold the seeds, embryos and DNA samples that had been stored at Svaldbard in Norway. But it could be a myth. An old earth legend.
Now, it seems the earth is recovering and if the seed bank could be found then the earth can be replenished.
Sci fi isn't really my favoured choice when I pick a book to read but I really got caught up in this story.
I loved the characters - Sten and Kye, her parents and her brother. Even Mykar - the one you will love to hate. All were well-written and completely believable and I felt I knew them personally.
The change of direction in the plot at the end of the book was a delicious surprise that left me smiling because it made such perfect sense and it left me feeling so connected to this book and the characters within it.
I hope there is a sequel and maybe even a series. I will definitely be reading them.

Meltoric has been monitoring the life and work of Kye for years and now feels the time is right to set up a meeting to discuss the highly important and top secret probe 19 project. It is understood from notes and diagrams left behind when humans fled earth that the probe contains vital seeds to start again on earth and Meltoric thinks he knows its position. A team of trusted people are needed but danger lerks in the form of Mykar around every corner.
With larger books the author has to keep the reader interested throughout to avoid a DNF and this he has totally done. A fascinating story with well defined characters and graphic descriptions, that keep the visual images in your minds eye ever constant to accompany and link together this creative and unique plot. Not my favorite of genres but wanted to give it a try and do pleased I did. Great job!

I received a copy of seedlings of earth after replying to an online offer. I wasn’t sure what to expect (my favourite kind of read!) and was very pleasantly surprised. The story is set 8000 years in the future and follows the lives of a family and the individuals around them as they strive to design and inhabit parts of space including planets, moons and the cores of asteroids. It’s a fast-paced story, which I like, with meticulous world building and a cast of colourful (including some diabolical) characters. There are several tense and exciting moments in the story as characters vie for ultimate power, but what I really liked was that it went beyond being a sci-fi thriller and was also a story that triggered reflections on climate change and preserving the life on our planet. Fans of sci-fi will LOVE this.

It’s been a long time since I read science fiction, but I’m glad to have discovered this story. Seedlings of the Earth is set 8,000 years in the future. Earth was abandoned long ago, the entire contents of Svalbard Global Seed Bank packed up and sent into space for safe-keeping in Probe-19, and most of the surviving population left to their fate. The author doesn’t waste much time on either describing events leading up to the exodus, or trying to justify it. Instead he gives just enough information, coupled with descriptions of disastrous climate change, as well as how Earth has fared in the millennia since the destructive human elements were eradicated. Searchers; highly trained individuals, visit Earth to monitor climate and animal life recovery regularly. But, on the whole, what has survived of humanity, are now at home in space.
I really enjoyed the author’s descriptions of life in space. Initially the Earth survivors mined living spaces on the moon, to protect them from radiation. Soon they can anchor and hollow out large asteroids, creating massive living areas within. Living, leisure and work spaces are stacked against inner walls, and open spaces between used for parks and forests populated by ‘lab-life’— manufactured plants and animals. Humanity has survived, flourished, evolved, moved asteroid to asteroid, moon to moon, planet to planet. People live a lot longer thanks to technology, and some dream of exploring beyond the boundaries of our Milky Way. But first they must find the Svalbard Global Seed Bank Probe-19 that has been lost for so long, many believe it is merely a myth.
Political and social factions develop. Meltoric, Kai and Sten, along with their friends and allies, seek to rediscover Probe-19 in secret, hoping to move humanity on into a much broader future. Meltoric’s son, Alnan, is one of the dissenters. Driven by his hatred for his father he employs the psychotic and very dangerous, Mykar, to not only thwart all efforts made by the former group, but also to hunt them down and bring about the destruction of the entire project with extreme prejudice.
The main characters are well-rounded, with plenty of support from a host of incidental characters. The technology is really well described, and so believable. The space-age environments interesting to imagine. I particularly liked the subtle descriptions of the catastrophic changes the Earth underwent in the wake of the exodus, and the slow recovery of our planet after humanity left. Hope for Earth, and hope for space-travel.
Now all I need is a few sessions of LifeX and a ticket on one of the first evac ships and I’m good to go. Io here I come.

I've enjoyed Seedlings of Earth. It is epic in scope and detailed; I appreciate the hard sci-fi and political aspects. The arguments for and against returning to the Earth remind me of our debate re climate change and what actions to take or not take. The author also did a good job of introducing different characters and making their actions and motivations believable.
I bought it direct from Lulu.com because I know authors get more royalties there.

May 1, 2022This book was a most inspiring and immersive read, with strong fantasy elements, that will undoubtedly captivate a wide audience The author has good ability to frame a cast of characters that builds and sustain the story, through a very well-conceived and developed plot. Not my normal genre the book was a gift for Christmas, but I was persuaded to give it a go. Glad I did. Highly recommend, I couldn’t put it down.

Epic Sci Fi
Set 8000 years after human kind left an Earth that could not sustain life anymore due to climate change and wars, humans are now living among the moons and planets of the solar system. They also managed to populate asteroids and join them together and orbit a planet to form mini moons. A mysterious notebook left by someone from the initial evacuation of Earth all those millennia ago hints at some secret long forgotten project. Kye who is trying to research into this discovers a plot that puts her and her family’s life in danger. Don’t won’t to give too much away but at the end we see humanity facing the possibility of travelling past to solar system. This is a really long book but the author keeps your interest piqued and wanting more. You can tell the author has carefully thought how humans would have evolved after 8000 years in space. They live longer and it seems they are taller too which I assume is the effect of lack of gravity. At one point one of the characters was looking at another characters height of 2.5 meters as short and squat. That’s like 8 foot. So the worlds tallest basketball player today would be considered short if we lived 8000 years in space. Names would have evolved as well as it felt like some of the character names was a joining and mix of 2 or more others. Time itself was thought of different. A Mars year was different to a Europa Year. They seemed to standardise it to Sol Years. A Sol Year seemed to be the equivalent of 7 to 10 Earth Years. It was details like that that kept you interested in reading through the book. I definitely recommend this to hard Sci Fi fans.

For 8,000 years, humans have been carving a living out in the solar system after Earth was abandoned due to the mismanagement of the humans living on it. Not a lot is left from the old Earth. There are two lines of thought. Perhaps the Earth can be re-seeded, carefully, using the lost Probe 19, sent out at the end of the last evacuation, which contains the Svalbard seed and animal bank. But there are others that do not want the lost Probe to be found. When an ancient notebook from Earth’s past is discovered, Kye Sheb and her family are drawn into this fight. Does the notebook show where the lost Probe is located? And why is young Kye so integral to this secret mission?
This book has sweeping vistas and great depth. It combines a complex understanding of the way things work in space, the politics that have grown out of adversity, the minutia of life. It is dark and joyful, full of fear but also hope. The characters are well-rounded and you feel real terror in places when they are threatened. And threatened they are. The race is on between the political factions to find the lost Probe 19. And then there is the psychotic and dangerous Mykar who longs to destroy it. And anyone else who gets in his way.
The book leads you up a path but the ending is surprising.
I really enjoyed this epic tale and highly recommend it.

Out-and-out science fiction. Humankind failed to contain their climate crisis and had to leave a dying Earth. Eight-thousand years later, the Earth has recovered enough to support plant and animal life. To bring the planet back to its optimal biological balance, intrepid explorers must find long-lost Probe 19, a vessel storing the critical seeds and animal DNA need to complete the process. But not all solar system dwellers are in favor of the plan. Conflicting interests arise to threaten Earth's revival. World building has become essential. Interplanetary trade drives the economy. Futuristic technology is intricately described in terms of structure and function. But even 8,000 years in the future, people are still people. Human thoughts, emotions, determinations, and aspirations are as present and complex as ever. Add a homicidal sociopath to the mix and you have a very suspenseful and intriguing story.

This was certainly a riveting and thought provoking read. The world building is extremely well done and I loved finding out bits of information about the new species of human kind which developed in different living environments in space. Yes, people have had to leave Earth after it was destroyed slowly but surely by human activity. I loved the plot too; a mission to find genetic material shot into space in the elusive Probe 19 to be reintroduced to Earth once it would be liveable again, or when an Earth like planet would be found. But not everyone is keen on that idea and (pretty nasty) forces work against the mission. I love Sten and Kye’s relationship but my favourite, totally deplorable, character is Mykar, who seems to have no morals at all. At the end I was on the edge of my seat as the suspense was incredible and could not stop reading! Overall a great read and I would heartily recommend it!

Sci-fi fan? Read this!
Loved it! Just loved it. This is a peek at a possible future for mankind and it rings all too true. Set some 8000+ years into the future, mankind has left the Earth following their destruction of it, and now populate the solar system. The story revolves around the possibility of repopulation of Earth and to do so, missing pods of genetic information need to be located. The story moves at a great pace, the protagonist's are incredibly well written, the bad guys really are bad and the worldbuilding, including possible future technologies entirely believable. Carries a great twist at the end and for me as a sci-fi fan was a story of the highest calibre. Do yourself a favour. Read this.

Descendants of the people of Earth, many years into the future, are scattered across the solar system. They know the legend of an ‘ark’ containing the seeds of life for every species of bird, beast and plant that used to inhabit the Earth before it died due to the carelessness of Mankind.
Author Nigel Stubley, with the skill of a sci-fi master, has gone into intricate detail to describe the world inhabited by his very believable characters, such as Monik and Dantam Sheb, pilot and Discoverer, owners of the Ore-ship Marentin.
Will the human race continue forward into their brave new world, or go boldly back to the future? You’ll have to read to find out.

Definitely a must read for Sci fi fans!
Set 8000 years from now, humans are now living throughout the solar system, Earth long abandoned.
Descendants are in search of probe 19 a top secret project that was sent off into the dark depths of space in the hopes that one day man would find it and be able to repopulate the Earth. This story focuses on the end of our planet, the hopes to rebuild and the struggle to survive in between.
Seedlings of Earth is exceptionally well written story and very descriptive. The author has done an amazing job at creating a sci fi book that any sci fi fan would want to read. A must read!

Science fiction is not something I read every day, but this was recommended to me. I am pleased to say, I found it fascinating. The author does a masterful job of creating a world that, in the way of science fiction, takes the reader's breath away. At the same time the basic premise is believable. I was drawn to the characters, hating the bad guys and loving the good ones. Excellent read.

A new future for mankind
I don't usually read Sci-fi but this novel was recommended so I thought I would try it. It was very futuristic and out of this world enjoying to read even though I didn't understand the scientific lingo. It was a great read for something that could actually happen.

Strange new world
This is a huge story, from the demise of earth, through the struggle to survive, to hopes and plans for a viable future. The science and infrastructure are explained in great detail. Characters are likeable -or not - as intended.

Stunningly good read. Story builds with great place settings, fully developed characters and well-thought out plot. The book has a vision and fulfilled it perfectly. Highly recommended.
