*Blog is a work in progress--the template I like didn't work, grrr.*
This week I have another snippet from Refugees On Urloon.
“Isn’t that a First World Planet? I remember learning something about Urloon in first school,” another crew member said.
A com tech’s finger glided over the com board. “Yes. Urloon. Settled by first wave Terran settlers but was left isolated for centuries while Terra fought the Terran Civil War. Water… Wow! Water-adapted humans live in domes in the warm seas. They have developed their procedure down to the DNA level so that their young are born ready to live in the sea.”
Good snippet, though might want to watch the repetitive words and other editing (unless this is still draft material, in which case, carry on).
ReplyDeleteLove the blog layout, Melisse. And the book cover.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting...water-people. Love the idea. Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteLove the concept of genetically-adapted humans. My main concern is the same as Aston's.
ReplyDeleteOoh...water-adapted humans! Nice hook. I can imagine lots of wonderful world-building for this book.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing this place.
ReplyDeleteWell, they say humans come from the sea, why shouldn't they evolve to go back to it?
ReplyDeleteGood snippet. I like your concept.
Watch the spelling! Bear young, not bare. But the idea is good.
ReplyDeleteOoh, mermaids! Fascinating concept (also, I would love to live in the sea!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading and commenting, everyone. Sorry about the typos, I copied from an older version, sheesh.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fascinating world!
ReplyDeleteIntriguing concept about water humans. Looking forward to hearing more about them.
ReplyDeleteLove the history coming out in this snippet, and looking forward to reading the whole thing when it comes out. :)
