Last Generation — E. Robert Dunn

Imagine further these worlds having resolved all misunderstandings between sexualities, a series of planets where same-gender relationships are seen as a necessary means to propagate a species. A society where the individual and their freedom of choice is as valuable as the whole.

Now, imagine this civilization on the verge of extending itself into unexplored space...sending out the cream of their generation to colonize this Utopia into the Unknown.

This is the setting for the series Echelon's End. In this first book, Last Generation, the year is 6752 and Earth is but a memory to its space faring descendants. A young male couple must deal with their peaceful reality being shattered by war and prejudice. This sets them on a jarring adventure where survival is a game of chance with the life forces of the Universe...
