Shifting from evocative poems to thrilling adventures, Lyle D. Westbrook pens “Edge of Tomorrow” to explore possibilities that challenge understanding of human origins, intertwining adventure, mystery, and science fiction in a thrilling narrative.

In “Edge of Tomorrow”, a telepathic archaeologist Nathan Masterson and his loyal dog Duke, embark on a daring quest to uncover an ancient alien race hidden in the rugged wilderness of British Columbia.
