Hope For A New World by Renee W Peek
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Maddison Bear’s Heart is an environmental lawyer and her life’s work is to protect the earth and those inhabiting it, however, this work is about to be cranked up into a new gear when she arrives at a conference and meets more than just others who share a similar belief. Maddison is approached by two women of Hopi decent who they explain, have been waiting a long time to meet her and now is the right time to speak with her, this is where they explain about the earth as a sentient being named Gaia who has been speaking to them about the end times and usher in a new world and that Maddison is going to be the ones who leads them to safety.

Maddison is understandably shocked by these revelations and at first is reluctant to believe the two women, however, when she realises that this isn’t the first time that she has felt a presence and that this explains a lot of what she has been feeling for a long time. As Maddison is introduced to the other people in attendance, she realises just how much responsibility has been thrust upon her shoulders, however, she knows she isn’t alone in the mission she has been given, but to the outside, she has to project a different exterior so that they can achieve their goals.

This mission is further clarifies when the sister of Gaia, Adelphi approaches Maddison through another voice saying that she will welcome them if they can travel to her, so Maddison is tasked to work with the military so that they can use one of their newest ships to undertake this journey, however, it is not all smooth sailing when people have to be left behind on their own journeys to help in Gaia’s transition and someone sabotages the ship. Will Maddison and her colourful group of women, men and some animals be able to survive the journeys they are on, or will the military and those associated with it destroy their chances before they can even begin? This is a journey which is filled with twists, turns and an unprecedented level of unpredictability in this adventure to a new planet where hope is the only sure thing which everyone is relying on.
