Book excerpt: In the far future, humanity has spread to nearly eight hundred planets. All these planets need some very extensive terraforming to be inhabited. Along the way, they meet with another sentient race, who, after some struggles, joins the human race in exploring the galaxy. Now a group of explorers has discovered a planet so much like Earth that it is statistically impossible. Some of the plants and animals are exact DNA matches to Earth's flora and fauna. Other flora and fauna, although very alien in appearance, are also compatible to human life. When the explorers discover the reason, it rocks their beliefs to the core and changes their civilization forever. This is a sci-fi/fantasy story designed to enthrall and delight children and adults alike and open their minds to the possibilities.
