Forrest followed with a second novel, "Daughters of an Amber Noon" in 2002 which described the fate of the women who remained on Earth. The work was described as "a tour de force," by one reviewer. This third book is set on Maternas some 55 years later and describes the conflict between the original settlers and the first generation of Maternas-born women, the first in the history of humanity with a legacy of ultimate freedom, with a standard of conduct that has created a schism between older and younger generations.
