Poseidon's Children 2 - On the Steel Breeze product reviews

We have found a distant planet. It carries signs of an alien civilisation.

And on a fleet of holoships - vast asteroids hollowed out and turned into miniature inside-out worlds - millions of us are heading there. With engines designed to exploit a physics we barely understand, we are on a one-way journey, travelling at one sixth the speed of light, to a new home. And an encounter with the unknown.

We take with us hopes and lies, secrets and betrayals, and another, quite alien, intelligence.

The Akinya family have not finished with space. Their destiny still lies with the stars, however they get there, whichever of them make it. But the Mechanism has not yet finished with the Akinyas either...

Product reviews for listing 8441: Tales of Aotearoa - 2 - Te Whakatautonga a Maui i Te Ra - Author: Donovan Bixley

Donovan Bixley re-tells the story of how Maui slowed the journey of the sun through the sky each day!

The traditional tale but with Donovan's unique twist and trademark humour. The pictures are bright and bring their own level of humour to the book.

Darryn Joseph ensures that the story is accurate and culturally appropriate and translates, along with Keri Opai, the story for the Te Reo edition.
