What would happen if an astronaut from Earth, a fallen and sinful man, discovered a planet where Adam and Eve had not eaten from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

Adam Lang, a self-professed atheist, travels to the ends of the universe to discover intelligent life on the only perfect planet left, Adon. There he discovered something he least expected to find . . . God.


Best-selling author, Terry Toler is a well-written, rising star in literary fiction, with his epic fantasy story, The Longest Day, the first in The Eden Stories series and the one that started the franchise. As much as it is about a strange journey across the stars, it’s also about people, and consequences, both of which are captured expertly. The Longest Day is one man’s story of romance, loss, science, discovery, mystery, sin, and salvation.


What Others Are Saying:


“Groundbreaking . . .”


“Epic.”


“Highly complex characters and a stunning conclusion.”


Toler draws his readers in and makes sure that they’re settled in, because he knows it’s going to be a long ride and they aren’t going to want to miss a thing. Best of all, there are more Eden Stories coming as he tells us what happened on each of the planets in our solar system through suspenseful, thrilling stories.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good book.. Though it raises some theological questions...
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2024

I got this for free and am appreciative. I was honestly hooked for most of the book. The author is skilled. The book was mostly clean though I think there was one case of profanity using "h*ll" as a curse word. That was a bit disappointing. This was was a bit strange in that it had two distinct halves. The first half was quite grounded with a little religion and read more like a thrilled. The second half was more like religious sci-fi.

It raises a lot of theological questions generally raise around the idea of God having made many different created worlds. It made me wonder about the orthodoxy of the author, though I wouldn't say it contained anything anti-biblical. I am a bit skeptical of where it is all going and I feel like it could go off the rails theologically in later books. To be clear, this is religious fiction and not religious fantasy. This deals with true biblical figures such as Adam and Eve, Jesus Christ, the serpent and even a "cain" figure but is playing out a bit different in a sort of parallel world. It is not an allegory like the Chronicles of Narnia. I would encourage the readers to enjoy it for what it is - a sort of religious fiction blended with fantasy, but to understand that it is going well beyond the bounds of Scripture and should not be taken as Biblical truth. Any retelling of the Bible narrative will generally stray from the truth. One should be grounded in the Bible so that they do not get confused about what is true and Biblical and what is not.

3.0 out of 5 stars On your mark; get set; go!
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2021

This book does grab your attention. I read it in an afternoon! The way it morphed from science fiction to a reliving of the Garden of Eden and The “Fall” was jolting. I didn’t feel like the author gave the story time to evolve. I felt like he was in a hurry to finish.
I did enjoy it though! Especially the first “half”. That had a rushed feeling as well, but it fit the story. A girl racing against the clock to connect with a father she’d never met before he left on a life long journey.
I am anxious to read the next book in the series. Is Adam from Earth going to experience the whole salvation story within one lifetime?

2.0 out of 5 stars Utter Nonsense But Written Nicely
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2023
Verified Purchase
For believability, I would give this book one star, but for decent writing style I've upped it to two. The author created a couple interesting characters and some thrilling moments, but the overall plot makes zero sense. I couldn't get past the author's complete misunderstanding of the theory of relativity. In his story of faster than light travel, Adam (the astronaut) ages only a single day in his journey (makes sense so far) yet somehow mentally experiences the 300 years passing on Earth which allows him to solve the world's stickiest scientific challenges. Huh??? The clues that this novel would go off the rails shows up early with the daughter's improbable journey to catch up to her father before he flies off to the ends of the universe. She's depicted as an average teenager who due to taking some martial arts classes fights like Jason Borne. The whole point of this book seems to be to find some way to convert a die-hard athiest -- apparently it requires a journey to a distant planet at the ends of the universe. Fun to read for some maybe, but only if you can completely suspend your brain. I couldn't.

This has three parts: First a very well done bit about Adam, an astronaut about to leave earth forever, and those he leaves behind. Second, he’s on the spaceship headed to the edge of the ubiverse and I’m not completely sure but I think Einstein is rolling in his grave over the concept of time—Adam’s body ages on the faster than light speed trip only seven hours while his mind is on the same time frame as Earth, so he’s up there 300 years earning multiple advanced degrees and so on. Anyway, (Third) he arrives on an unfallen world—I love Christian stories so I liked this part. So I’d give it a mixed review—the good parts are very good; the others are —“Huh??!!”

4.0 out of 5 stars An action packed, multi-genre story
Reviewed in Australia on April 14, 2021
Verified Purchase
I enjoyed part one. It was action packed and I really wanted to know what was going to happen between Adam and his daughter and whether Adam would leave earth or not. I did however think it was unrealistic for Jamie to get into two fights in one day. The author could have written about the first fight as though it had happened months ago, to shed light and context on her skill as a fighter, so we wouldn't be surprised by her ability to kill the terrorist.

The second part of the story was interesting but I have some theological differences with the writer that made it a bit jarring for me. It also kind of felt like one minute I was reading action-fiction, then sci-fi, and then a fantasy. The other planet felt more like a dream world or heaven, than extra-terrestrial. Not that that is an impossibility.

It was definitely a creative story and it kept me reading to the end. The ending was also a bit depressing - that the fall of mankind would be repeated on another planet - but I'm guessing it is followed by other books.

I loved the premise of this story and during the first section it was very enticing and hard to put down. The second section had parts that seemed to be hard to write and while I understood the direction the story was going and wanted it to succeed - it dragged. The climax was excellent.
