BOOK OF THE YEAR • "Mind-blowing is an understatement!"—iHeart Sci-Fi Podcast

In this time-twisting trilogy, Amazon Top 100 author A.W. DAVIDSON deftly combines the thrill of an archaeological adventure with the most speculative science of our time. Relics of Dawn launches readers to a world where superstorms rage and cities crumble to dust. Until an ancient secret makes scientists wonder... who can they trust?

When extreme weather sweeps her life away, biologist Kaia Badra takes the helm of an audacious plan to heal the planet. But beneath the Dawn Project’s promise of salvation through science, she hears whispers of deception. Driven by her parents’ legacy of conservation, Kaia's mission evolves into a personal crusade to solve a mystery that could save their creation… or lead to utter destruction.

Her pursuit of the truth uncovers the forgotten research of rogue geologist Alan Pearce from 2034. He dared to decode secrets hidden in the layers of rock beneath ancient ruins. But the discoveries led him to ridicule, not reverence. As their stories intertwine, a shocking revelation emerges, pointing to a deeper truth about the cycle of life, and how far Kaia may need to go to save it.

Relics of Dawn echoes the thought-provoking style of Arthur C. Clarke, where author A.W. Davidson invites you to ponder the weight of our decisions on the vast scale of geologic time with skepticism, hope, and relentless curiosity. In the end, you may find yourself wondering: Could relics from the dawn of civilization pull us from the brink of collapse—or will they stand as monuments to a society that went over the edge?

“The mystery of the Da Vinci Code meets the science of Interstellar!” Fans of Stargate, The Day After Tomorrow, and The Time Machine will love this gripping science fiction saga for our future.
