When Professor Meridia Vail’s space station is hurled across time and dimensions, she and the rest of the Bridgeway crew wake on an alternate Earth that's only five years into the future but looks like it's a century behind her technology. Their goal is to reclaim their crippled station, return to their dimension, and hope that a mysterious interdimensional illness doesn't kill her and her people first.
Stuck on a backwards version of her own planet, Meridia must deal with governments who want her technology and intelligence agencies who want control. Nobody trusts anyone, and the longer they delay, the closer the Bridgeway gets to a catastrophic reentry.
However, the greatest shock comes when Meridia meets her doppelganger, a brilliant mechanic with a loving family that leaves her heart aching for the life she could have had.
As time is running out for her crew and New Earth, Meridia faces an impossible mission: return to the station, save her crew, and prevent a global disaster. Duty first. Family second. When Meridia is thrust into a situation where the two become synonymous, she must decide how much she's willing to risk for a world she's sworn to save and a life she can never have.

Read an Excerpt
My heart swelled to the point that my gaze blurred with unshed tears. She was beautiful. She had olive skin and frizzy hair that barely stayed in place with two green barrettes to hold back the curly onslaught. Her smile was perfect, even with the one missing tooth in the front. I didn’t believe in instant love, but this little girl made me feel nothing less than that. Meridia—the other me—had a child. I mean, I knew she had a kid, but nothing prepared me for actually meeting her.
"Who’s that, Mommy?" she asked.
Meridia knelt. "Remember when I told you I had a twin sister who came from space and that’s why the reporters were at our house? Well, this is her. This is Astronaut Meridia. Meridia, this is my daughter Felicity."
The little girl let go of her mother before rushing to wrap her arms around my waist.
"I have two mommies now," she declared. "Best day ever!"
Oh. My. God. It took everything inside me not to cry happy tears. Her little arms spewing with love for someone she had just met was incredible. Who would ever deny this beautiful little girl?
My Review:
The Engine in the Sky is the third installment in V.G. Harrison’s The Dyson Bridge Series, and it is a magnificent continuation of the saga. I was captivated by this series from the very first page of the first book, Abandon Station. Discovering that more tales awaited me in this incredible universe was a delightful surprise.
In The Engine in the Sky, we follow Professor Meridia Vail as she encounters her twin sister and a newfound family on Earth. Vail quickly feels a strong sense of love for her new family, wondering how her life might have unfolded differently had she taken another route. The parallels between Prof. Vail and her Earth family are simply astounding!
Currently, Professor Vail and her crew are stranded on this New Earth after their ship was propelled through space, landing them in a dimension that closely resembles their own. The notable difference is that they possess a level of intelligence that is centuries ahead of the inhabitants of this New Earth.
All Prof. Vail and her team desire is the resources necessary to repair their ship and return to their own planet or universe. However, the inhabitants of this New Earth appear to have other intentions, aiming to assert control over everything. Trust becomes a significant issue, as no one can discern who is trustworthy and who is not.
I eagerly anticipate exploring more of this extraordinary universe in future installments of The Dyson Bridge Series, and I sincerely hope that additional books will be forthcoming. I am certainly not ready for this journey to conclude.
I wholeheartedly recommend The Engine in the Sky, along with every book in the series, to all science fiction enthusiasts! Be sure to acquire a copy of The Engine in the Sky and the entire series today! I suggest beginning with the first book, Abandon Station, followed by the second book, Among Us, before delving into the third book, The Engine in the Sky.
