Eden by Phil Rossi
Science Fiction
Click the arrow below to listen to the first episode of this free audio book:
The tree is beautiful and they call her Eden. Her branches reach for the stars. She is like all other trees on planet Earth save for her enormous size. Still, she has leaves and she has bark. She turns sunlight into life. But this tree does not sprout from the dirt. Eden fills the sky, high in orbit above the blue expanse of Uranus. There she changes humanity's very concept of extraterrestrial life. Dr. Malcolm Green is sent to Eden to audit a science team studying this extraordinary tree from the dark confines of space station Lola. But with unexplainable accidents plaguing the team, tensions are mounting between scientists and custodial staff. Is there a future for this project and Lola? Only Malcolm Green can make that call. From the second he sets foot on Lola, Malcolm’s own future becomes at stake. He soon finds that love, friendship, and his own mortality tremble like a leaf at the sound of Eden's call.
Eden is the latest podcast fiction offering from Phil Rossi, author of Crescent and Notes from the Vault.

Thanks, Was a great listen. You put great effort into the quality of the recording and sound effects. Thank you. ... I did feel there should be a little more to the ending..... But Great!By: Kate
I just listened to Eden for a second time. A lovely novella...as I listen to Rossi's books, it strikes me that they are intended for those of us not afraid to think as we are being entertained. Rossi stimulates the imagination in a very unique sort of way, leaving bigger questions between the lines like Easter Eggs that keep us intrigued far after finishing the book. I really hope this becomes a series of novellas.By: Michael
I really liked Eden. It was a quietly ambitious "read" that grew deeper and more engaging with every episode. It evoked memories of Solaris, not the least for the way Rossi pulls the entire story together with the very last line, like a man pulling his bootlaces tight. Very nice!
