Editorial Book Review:

By SM Harrison

From the first page, Jeremy Clift puts readers in a world that feels both huge and important, where the choices of one family and their courage and creativity are what will save humanity. Space Vault: The Seed Eclipse is a story that balances big cosmic stakes with deep personal feelings. It feels like you're in a high-speed chase across planets while also thinking about what it means to protect life itself. The tension is immediate, and every twist has a purpose, which makes readers care about the characters and what will happen to the world.

The book is mostly about who we are, what freedom means, and the moral issues that come up when we use technology and test on animals. The fight to protect Diana, a child who has to live in terrible conditions, is more than just a story. It makes us think about who controls life, what that control means, and how far someone will go to keep hope alive. These thoughts make me consider how I interact with people, nature, and science.

Clift's writing is colorful, engaging, and like a movie. He keeps things clear and moving forward while juggling different plot lines on Earth, the Moon, and other worlds. The dialogue is sharp, the action scenes are tense, and the story gets emotional depth from moments of reflection. Sometimes, the worldbuilding is so dense and the settings change so quickly that it can be too much to handle. However, this intensity also reflects the stakes of the plot, and if you pay close attention, you'll get a layered, richly imagined universe.

In the end, Space Vault: The Seed Eclipse is a story about survival, bravery, and making moral choices in a well-thought-out universe. Jeremy Clift's book is exciting, thought-provoking, and very human. Anyone who loves science fiction that makes you think and feel should read it.

About the Author 

Jeremy Clift

Jeremy Clift is a science fiction author and former journalist. His first work of fiction, “Born in Space” is part of his Sci-Fi Galaxy series of novels built around the growth of orbiting space habitats and the exploitation of asteroids. The sequel, "Space Vault: The Seed Eclipse" was published in 2025. “Born in Space” examines what life might be like for the first children born off Earth. “How would they feel? Would they have a terrible craving to return “home”? Or are they really an extraterrestrial, a space being? Still a humanoid but having none of the experiences of the Earth.” The subsequent book examines identity in an age of genetic engineering. Who owns Life?

A fan of Adrian Tchaikovsky, Mary Robinette Kowal, Cixin Liu, and Andy Weir, he is keenly interested in how space exploration will change humanity over the next 200 years.Clift says that solving how babies get born in reduced or zero gravity is one of the key issues for humanity if we want to populate space habitats and other planets. Most people will not want to emigrate to Mars. But maybe robots will. And by then, they will probably be far more intelligent than humans. “Maybe what will be “born” is some sort of hybrid that mixes the emotions of humans with the resilience and sturdiness of artificial beings.”
