Heated Earth - Aedgar Moves In

By Miki Mitayn

Dr Nerida Green cares for desert people.
She's delighted and appalled by the Spirit (he prefers 'non-physical being') named Aedgar. He speaks through Nerida's wife Mari, and claims he helped create the Earth.
Aedgar foretells a mass tragedy. And insists Nerida must not try to prevent it.
What should Nerida do with this unwanted knowledge?
People will die. Violently.
But speaking out will send a blast across the world that could destroy Mari and Nerida and hurt people they love.

'Stunningly imagined …
filled with insightful commentaries and wisdom on spirituality … seamless, fascinating.
Miki Mitayn is a master storyteller with an extraordinary gift.
Brims with energy and humanity.
A great opening to a captivating series ... ingenious, with intriguing, lovable characters.'

— Bertin Drizller The Book Commentary

‘In a time where channelled spirits are considered new age, Miki Mitayn’s Nerida connects to the traditions of Aboriginal “dream visitors” to listen to Earth’s past while agonising on a future of certain doom.
And it's her wife's lips this news is coming from ...
This story is of love and the hopelessness and resonance of the incarnation of flesh.
A novel of macro and micro humanity, and the attempt to find tender, tragic truth.’
