Genesis Sequence is the PREQUEL for my mind-bending Across Horizons series. Prehistoric creatures, fascinating characters, wilderness survival. Time travel like you've never seen it before!
Banished from her tribe, Skyra Una-Loto wanders through an ancient landscape teeming with fierce predators. Skyra searches for a way to overcome the crippling fear that has plagued her since witnessing her birthmother’s brutal death.
The problem is, to overcome her fear and reclaim her strength, she must attack and kill predators that will probably kill her first.
Skyra’s desperate quest takes an unexpected turn when she encounters a creature unlike anything she has seen before. It walks on four legs, yet it can also fly. It eats fire instead of flesh, and it speaks a strange language called English. Its name is Ripple.
Ripple cannot believe its good luck. Having jumped 47,000 years into the past, the robotic drone has completed its research mission and is stranded here forever. Now it has found a living, breathing Neanderthal to study. The more Ripple learns about Skyra, the more the drone is convinced she is important to the future of this new world—but only if Ripple can keep her alive.

Here are a few of my favorite reviews of Genesis Sequence:
"If you like being surprised - if you enjoy the challenge of imagining other worlds that may be more different than you expect or more like our world than you might think - this is the author, and this is his latest work, and I most heartily recommend both."
- Fatherjohn on Goodreads
"Mr Smith draws you into a time over 47,000 years ago and within two pages, you are believing you are there. The characters are quickly introduced, your interest is piqued, and excitement grips you. What more can you ask for a writer to provide you, the reader?"
- Localpeon on Amazon
"Quite original and well written, you will find this book to be insightful as well as entertaining. The role of other characters and the violent acts of survival are necessary to the plot and, according to Ripple, very important to the future of humanity. Thus, you may find yourself emotionally involved in achieving a positive outcome."
- Kathryn on Goodreads
