Tomorrow's Ancestors

This series plunges readers into a post-apocalyptic future where humanity has evolved drastically through genetic engineering, leaving some behind to atone for past ecological damage. The central mission involves restoring extinct species, a vital part of Earth's reparation efforts, housed within a fascinating Museum of Evolution. We follow a young woman from the lowest human caste as she embarks on a journey that uncovers hidden secrets and blurs the lines between humanity, evolution, and the very definition of life.

Recommended Reading Order

  1. 1

    In a post-apocalyptic world the human race has evolved beyond us through genetic engineering - and we've been left behind to make amends for the damage inflicted on the earth. The reversal of the extinction of long lost animals is key to our reparations and all of these are housed in the Museum of Evolution, along with another species of human that hasn't existed for 30,000 years. Elise belongs to the lowest order of humans, the Sapiens. She lives with her parents in an ostracised community of impoverished, ecological houses, built to blend with an idyllic landscape. Deciding to widen her stagnating life in the manufacturing base, she takes a chance opportunity to become a Companion to a previously extinct species of human. But Elise has secrets of her own that threaten to be exposed now that she is away from the safety of her home. And while living in the museum, Elise realises that little separates her from the other exhibits...

  2. 2

    Elise and her companions have made it to the safety of Uracil but at a price. Desperate to secure her family's passage, she makes a deal with Uracil's Tri-Council. She'll become their spy, jeopardising her own freedom in the process, in exchange for her family's safe transfer. But first she has to help rescue the next Neanderthal, Twenty-Two. Twenty-Two has never left the confines of the steel walls that keep her separated from the other exhibits. She has no contact with the outside world and no way of knowing why she has been abandoned. With diminishing deliveries of food and water, she has to start breaking the museum's rules if she wants a second chance at living. One belongs to the future and the other to the past, but both have to adapt--or neither will survive.
