The Island on the Edge of Forever

by Andrew M. Crusoe

Overview

When Asha accepts a mission to recover a sacred stone capable of raising the dead, she doesn't expect her ship to be shot down above a raw, untamed world.

To their shock, Asha and her commander Mira are dragged into the planet's wild ocean, and Asha barely manages to escape a vast underwater complex. Once she reaches the surface, she discovers a mysterious island that comes to life with dancing villagers and roaring bonfires every night, only to vanish without a trace each morning, leaving her feeling alone and confused.

Yet there are greater struggles ahead for Asha. Having followed them, the vicious Vakragha are desperate to find the stone first, bent on using it to revive their greatest mastermind. And when Asha finds Mira on the verge of death, the full burden of the mission falls on her shoulders. Time is running out, and Asha must rely on her courage, intuition, and healing skills to have any hope of survival. But she soon discovers that the Vakragha aren't the only ones searching desperately for the sacred stone....

A fast-paced, tropical Sci-Fi novel inspired by the Big Island of Hawaii, THE ISLAND ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER is part of the growing Epic of Aravinda series.

About the Author

As a citizen of Earth, Andrew is primarily interested in growth, in all ways. To this end, he writes Mythic Sci-Fi with a heart.

His debut novel, “The Truth Beyond the Sky,” is the first book in the Epic of Aravinda, an award-nominated science fiction series that draws inspiration from around the globe, including eastern mythology, sacred geometry, and the Ra Material. Since its release, the novel has garnered a multitude of glowing reviews, received write-ups on pro-reviewer websites, been professionally produced as a Audible.com audiobook, and featured on Utah Public Radio for predicting gravity waves years before they were officially detected.

And thanks to reader support, the series continues with “The Island on the Edge of Forever,” inspired by Andrew's adventures on the strange trails of Hawai?i, followed by the out-of-body adventure “The Mirage on the Brink of Oblivion,” available now.

Editorial Reviews

"I really enjoyed this book and was impressed by its Miyazaki-level imaginative flair. The vivid way Crusoe painted the landscapes and inhabitants of the Island of Forever stuck with me... He interweaves just the right amount of spiritual levity and philosophy throughout, in a way that serves the plot rather than vice versa. I eagerly anticipate the next one."
