Press Release Body:
Book Description: One reader described e.A.R.T.H. as, \"not so much a fantasy, as a glimpse into a possible parallel reality, in many ways not so much different to our own, an alternative present of someone else\'s creation. But the figures that inhabit this landscape are recognizably ourselves, they are not creatures of science fiction or fantasy literature. What they certainly are, and what Douglas\'s environment decidedly is, is refreshingly bizarre\".
About the Author: Douglas\'s writing is immensely alive, and works perfectly in his chosen arena. One gets the feeling that the author had as much excitement writing this imaginative, metaphorical allegory as the reader will in the reading\".
Excerpt from the book:
"Kate: When you say earthlings you seem to emphasize 'earth' and tack 'lings' on the end. Why?
Quark: eA.R.T.H. stands for experiment to Alleviate Racial Tension and Hatred. Sometimes I feel it was a pity we interfered with this place at all. But then we will never know what would have happened and there is no point crying over damaged DNA.
Kate: As an earthling I find it difficult to be so cavalier about it. By the way, do you know what the aborigines called it?
Quark: I don't think they called it anything special, Membrain may know."
