"Cerebral speculative fiction"
On the planet of No-Moon, the dominant sentient life form
is an aquatic squid known as a polypoid and they are all
males. The females that they mate with are coral known as
reefwives. The reef is a collective conscious being,
aware that coming soon is a space armada belonging to the
Cosmic Unity, a religion that preaches kindness,
benevolence, and love. The reef is aware of the true
purpose of Cosmic Unity and makes arrangements to get
their husbands off planet with the help of the
Neanderthals. They land on Aquifer and the males are put in a special
salt water environment but unknown to them or the
Neanderthals, Cosmic Unity has a topic secret base on the
planet. Servant of Unity XIV Samuel is a devoted member
of Cosmic Unity who obeys his superiors as he rises in the
hierarchy. However, Sam sees that the church does not
practice what it preaches and begins to doubt that the
religion is any thing but evil. Sam and polypoid Second
Best Sailor conclude they must stop the invasion of No-
Moons. HEAVEN is a philosophical compilation woven into a
cerebral speculative fiction that compels reader to ponder
concepts and ideas put forth by the authors. The alien
species are very unique and readers will find their belief
systems fascinating. COSMIC UNITY is a religion that is
determined to spread its beliefs to all sentient life
forms using whatever means necessary to attain its goals.
The two protagonists of HEAVEN, especially Sam, are
willing to risk their lives to stop the invasion of No-
Moon, making them true heroes. Harriet Klausner
