About the Book

When Earth Slips Beyond the Horizon is a science fiction romance that launches from a futuristic Slovenia into outer space. Humanity has begun colonising the Solar System, building space stations and bases on the Moon and Mars. Astronauts are among the most sought-after professionals, and Europe’s finest are trained in Planica, Slovenia.

It is there that archaeologist Frank Beddoe suddenly finds himself, faced with the unexpected prospect of having to train for a mission into space. But why? And where exactly will he be sent? Ever since he was taken away on orders from above by Julija Perun, a detective with Solarpol who must also undergo training, Frank has found himself increasingly in the dark. But will the first stirrings of an unexpected romance knock them both out of orbit?

The novel marks the beginning of a new chapter in Slovenian science fiction, as the first instalment of the upcoming trilogy At the Edge of the Horizon. The series introduces an entirely new world: from the ruins of ancient pyramids to the plains of Mars, from the submerged cities of an overheated planet to space stations nurturing the ecosystems of the future, and from gruelling endurance challenges in the Alps to tender moments in microgravity. All this provides the backdrop for daring adventures, thrilling action sequences, journeys through space, and passionate kisses.
