Planet of Love, the sequel to Love Beyond Orbit, is the fourth in the Brent and Edward series of future romantic science fiction by the creative author, Richard Jeffery Wagner. In this hard science fiction book, he details a near-future world where intercontinental rockets and sentient machines are commonplace. Edward Collier lives a carefully balanced life of

comfort, intellect, and quiet longing. His loyal robotic valet, Brent, is more than a servant; he’s a companion capable of deep curiosity and unsettling insight. As Edward returns from paradise and faces the ache of separation from his fiancée, his conversations with Brent turn inward toward questions of love, free will, and what it truly means to live. In the stillness of a high-tech world, thought itself becomes the final frontier.
