| Plot Summary of Sarah's Landing |
|---|
"What thread connects a 111-year-old mystery; people who vanished ten years before the new millennium; and the first space-exploration starship, Earth Star-I, lost in deep space fifty-one years later? Is there a connection between these unexplained disappearances and a village situated along the rocky coast of New England, a place out of time, called Sarah's Landing? Joshua Morgan, the Astronaut/Biologist scratched from the ill-fated flight, had the determination to seek out the answers. Slowly, almost magnetically, he is drawn to Sarah's Landing. Stories told by the local townspeople of the Founder's House, and the strange goings-on within, draw him to the site over the objections of a redheaded telepath, Alexandra McKay. Little does he know his quest will take him to the far reaches of space and to an alien planet no one knew existed.
In his search for answers Joshua falls deeply in love with Alexandra. A quadrangle develops when the main characters, Joshua, Alexandra, Harry, and the alien leader's daughter Adrianne, are helplessly caught in the entanglement of an affair that spans two different planets light years apart. Joshua discovers that his love for two women, results in the birth of two sons--siblings--one from the alien planet Theon, and one from Earth, empowered with mind-linking capabilities. This phenomenon results in detection by an ominous dark force whose threatening presence is over-come by the interconnecting relationships of the people of the Planet Theon and the Planet Earth.
