Seeds of Time, by Kay Kenyon

I had never read anything by Kay Kenyon before this book and was quite pleased with her writing style. This, being her first book, got me caught up almost immediately. Another Science Fiction book, which if you have read any of my other postings, you should know is my favorite type of fiction.
It's pretty much of an adventure, with the main heroine character being Clio Finn, a Dive pilot, someone capable of guiding a ship into the time stream. Earth is on her last legs (because of all the problems plagueing her right now). Clio is a Green, who would do anything at all to save her beloved Earth, and on a trip through time she and her crew find a lush planet that Clio would like to bring back some seeds from to regreen the Earth. Unfortunately, those seeds could either halt the planet's immanent demise and/or destroy it's entire civilization.
The characterization is very believeable, as is the science behind the fiction. I just found another book by this Washingtonian who resides in Wenatchee and am eagerly anticipating using some of my sleep time to dive into wherever it may take me.
