The rashness of outer space and all fluidity of time during intergalactic travel are all Juno Zeenon has ever known. Born aboard space lab Wanderer, to parents who find themselves thrust out of orbit and into the unknown as their planet is destroyed be nuclear war, Juno and his family travel the universe in search of another inhabited planet. After his parents' deaths, Juno is left alone and isolated, but heading for a new life on a planet that turns out to be Earth. Nothing however, is that simple. Aliens are little green men from Mars, not intelligent individuals who speak English and look human. The isolation Juno must face on Earth, as he endeavors to prove the truth of his story, is greater than anything he experienced alone on Wanderer. Yet Juno must persevere, for some greater force is guiding his future.
Bruce Vaughan's refusal to be confined by the familiar parameters of the science fiction genre, his willingness to blur the boundaries between reality, science fiction and spirituality, is the great strength of Regenesis.
