Book Description
The Indiginous people on a young planet find themselves thrust into a new world of thought and culture when accidently invaded by a deep-space research team from an alien world. Loosely retold stories of the Bible starting with the experience of Ezekiel and then the first book of Moses, this is an interesting history retold in novel form, that our world of belief might have started with the visitation of extra-terrestrial visitors. What if the miracles in the bible and even God himself were close encounters with extra-terrestrials? This premise is explored here in fiction, in the first book of the series, "The Glass Planet: The Clear Beings."

Book Description
Shocking, intimate, often uncomfortably honest, these stories reaffirm Doris Lessing’s unequalled ability to capture the truth of the human condition In the title novel, two friends fall in love with each other's teenage sons, and these passions last for years, until the women end them, vowing a respectable old age. In Victoria and the Staveneys, a young woman gives birth to a child of mixed race and struggles with feelings of estrangement as her daughter gets drawn into a world of white privilege. The Reason for It traces the birth, faltering, and decline of an ancient culture, with enlightening modern resonances. A Love Child features a World War II soldier who believes he has fathered a love child during a fleeting wartime romance and cannot be convinced otherwise.
